Picking leaves like mint for tea is so simple and quick, how did teabags ever catch on? Want a cup of hot tea? Pick a few leaves. Put them in a cup and add hot water. When you’re done, there is less waste than when you use a teabag. You can scatter a few leaves most anywhere and it doesn’t look like garbage. Toss out a teabag and you have an instant eyesore.
looks like it could be a mojito too! Have you ever tried making tea with nettles? I dry a bunch this time of year to use through the winter.
I haven’t made tea with nettles. I use a lot nettles in early spring in soups and vegetable dishes.
