Be the first to rate it
A zesty loose tea blend of dried peppermint, lemon peel and ginger. Keep it in a small glass jar and steep a spoonful in boiling water.
Ingredients
- 1 part dried lemon peel
- 1 part dried ginger
- 2 parts dried peppermint leaves
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- baking sheet
- airtight jar
- chef’s knife
Directions
- Dry and chop the lemon peel and ginger first (see the notes).
- Stir the blend together in a small bowl, using 1 part lemon, 1 part ginger, and 2 parts peppermint.
- 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.
