Ingredients
- Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup, tightly packed
- Water
- 4 cups
- Honey or sugar
- to taste

Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the fresh mint leaves gently under cold water to remove any impurities. Place the cleaned leaves into a large teapot.
- In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully pour it over the mint leaves in the teapot. This will release the aromatic oils and flavors from the mint.
- Cover the teapot and let the mint steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired strength. The longer it steeps, the more robust the flavor.
- After steeping, strain the tea into cups to remove the mint leaves.
- Sweeten your tea with honey or sugar according to your taste preferences. Stir well to dissolve any sweetener.
- Garnish each cup with a slice of lemon for a refreshing twist and an extra layer of flavor.
