Mint is a pleasant addition to black or green tea, making its taste softer. It is believed that mint has a calming and relaxing effect, so drinks with it are good to drink before bed or after a hard day. We recommend adding fresh mint to tea, but the drink with dried mint is no worse.

Try adding lemon balm, basil, or lemongrass for different flavor profiles. Start with small amounts to adjust to your taste.

Can I reuse the tea leaves and mint for a second brew?

Yes, you can reuse them for a lighter second brew. The flavor will be more subtle, so you may want to steep it slightly longer.
