We've always made it without any actual tea though - just the mint leaves.<BR/><BR/>I bet green tea is a nice addition. As soon as the snow melts (if??) and our garden mint is once again available, we'll have to try your version.<BR/><BR/>-ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-13601752568292118542008-03-17T08:58:00.000+01:002008-03-17T08:58:00.000+01:00lovely pictures you've got there.

My parents finally just gave me my own little garden so I could go to town with planting herbs. Mint in tea is the best!

My mint was just starting to show some new green leaves coming out and then we got more snow, so we're having a last blast of winter while you have a last blast of summer. I have actually had mint tea in Morocco and it's very refreshing and delicious.
