A dried herb tea blend of equal parts peppermint, lavender and lemon peel. Steep a tablespoon in boiling water, or seal it in a small glass jar to give as a gift.
Ingredients
- 1 part dried peppermint leaves
- 1 part dried lavender buds
- 1 part dried lemon peel
Equipment
- baking sheet
- mixing bowl
- airtight jar
Directions
- Dry and chop the lemon peel and ginger first (see the notes).
- Stir the blend together in a small bowl, using 1 part peppermint, 1 part lavender, and 1 part lemon.
- Close up in a small glass jar.
Notes
To brew a cup, put 1 tablespoon of the blend in a tea infuser and pour 8 ounces of boiling water over it.
To dry lemon peel and ginger, peel the lemons with a vegetable peeler and cut the ginger into thin strips. Spread them in one layer on a baking sheet and dry in a 200°F oven for about 2 hours, then finely chop. If they aren’t fully dry, leave them on the counter overnight.
Store the blend in a small, tightly closed glass jar and use it within a month. Use only fully dried ingredients.
