Mint Tea

The mint finished drying and I picked the leaves and crushed it up. It took me almost an hour to do that and it yielded 3 - 1 cup jars of tea.

We tasted and it tasted pretty good. We don`t know what type of mint it is but are pretty sure it`s not peppermint so it`s nice, a bit different than regular mint tea.

Drying mint

We have lots of mint. It's from the old owner so we had some last year but this year we have that patch and another patch that somehow sprung up about 10 feet away from the other patch. So I thought we should make sure to do more than a couple of mojitos with it this year. I put some in the couscous I made for dinner and the rest I hung up to dry. I put it in the huge closet in Kevin's office - a perfect place. It's supposed to be dark, dry, and well ventilated. I think it looks so pretty. I thought we could try just using it for mint tea.
