As a last hurrah of sorts, I present to you this delicious iced mint tea!<br /><br />I made it with a base of two different teas. After which I made a mint-infused simple syrup, I then added some matcha with mint to some hot water, then a few minutes later I also added some Twinings green tea and mint tea. Just for a bit of variety. Brewed for around two minutes. Then I mixed the syrup with the tea, and left to chill. I served it over ice with extra mint leaves for garnish and a little extra flavour. The mint tea is perfectly nice on its own, but adding a little squeeze of lemon juice really made it shine. Lime would be equally nice and somewhat reminiscent of a mojito.<br /><br /><i>(I apologise for the vagueness of this 'recipe'. It's quite simple to make without any particular quantities as such, it really is to taste, but I will try to provide actual recipes in the future!)</i>Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02775790610813236043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625804656588926214.post-67010961084031130492019-03-01T23:24:00.000+10:302019-03-01T23:24:04.049+10:30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L84lgA6gJEw/XHkrCqmeCXI/AAAAAAAAAuA/QWcLnZ1bSRwz-VliIkLKZ8sfNP_D3SqGACLcBGAs/s1600/if_in_doubt_make_tea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L84lgA6gJEw/XHkrCqmeCXI/AAAAAAAAAuA/QWcLnZ1bSRwz-VliIkLKZ8sfNP_D3SqGACLcBGAs/s1600/if_in_doubt_make_tea.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Artwork by <a href="https://dribbble.com/shots/2296509-If-In-Doubt-Make-Tea" target="_blank">Owen Davey</a></div>Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02775790610813236043noreply@blogger.com0
