Thanks for the mint tisane recipe Farmer John. I've been feeling under the weather this week and I've found this hot beverage to be very soothing to my throat. Here is the recipe, with a few of my adaptations.


Mint Tisane


-Rinse several sprigs of mint, pick off the leaves.

-Place the leaves into a teapot or a large glass measuring cup.

-Pour just-boiled water over mint, let steep 3 or so minutes, drain through small tea strainer.

-Drink hot or chill first.

-Options: you can add honey or sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste. You can also mix this 1/2 and 1/2 with lemonade.
