## Ingredients for the Perfect Mint Tea

Before we dive into the recipe, let's our ingredients:

- Fresh mint leaves (or dried mint leaves)
- Water
- Sweeteners (optional: honey, sugar, stevia)
- 🍋 Lemon or lime slices (optional for added zing)
- Rwanda Mountain Tea (optional for a richer blend)

### Classic Fresh Mint Tea Recipe

1. **Pick the Mint Leaves:** Gather a handful of fresh mint leaves. If using dried leaves, use around 1-2 teaspoons.
2. **Rinse:** Rinse the mint leaves under cold water to remove any impurities.
3. **Boil Water:** Boil 2 cups of water in a teapot or saucepan.
4. **Add Mint Leaves:** Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat and add the mint leaves. If you're using Rwanda Mountain Tea for a richer flavor, add one teabag or a teaspoon of loose leaves.
5. **Steep:** Let the mint leaves steep for 5-10 minutes, depending on your flavor preference. For a stronger brew, crush the leaves gently to release more of their essential oils.
6. **Strain and Serve:** Strain the leaves and pour the tea into your cup. Add sweeteners or a splash of lemon if desired.

### Iced Mint Tea 🍹

For a refreshing summer version, try this iced mint tea recipe:

1. **Follow the Classic Recipe:** Prepare the mint tea as described above.
2. **Cool Down:** Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. **Serve Over Ice:** Pour the chilled tea over a glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for extra flair.

## Practical Tips for Mint Tea Preparation

- **Crush the Leaves:** For a more robust flavor, crush the mint leaves while they steep. This releases the essential oils, enhancing the tea's aroma and taste.
