01 -

The combination of fresh mint and honey creates an instant sense of calm, like a deep breath after a long day
It comes together in under 15 minutes but tastes like something that required far more effort and thought

02 -

Never boil the mint leaves directly, as this can make the tea taste bitter and grassy
Let the water cool for about 30 seconds after boiling if you prefer a subtler mint flavor

03 -

Grow your own mint in a pot, because it thrives on neglect and provides endless fresh leaves
Make a large batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating gently as needed
