Fresh Mint Tea

We have fresh mint growing like weeds in our garden; before we left for Scotland David did a major "de-minting". Well, what did we get served by the potful in the Highlands...you guessed it, pots of fresh mint tea! It was delicious and Amy and I were probably the best customers they ever had. So, starting Friday night I've been making fresh mint tea. Rather easy, however, my teapot has one of those "press" pieces. The first time I made the tea I pressed the leaves immediately, not a good idea. The tea just stayed watery. Now I know that you let the tea sit and steep and then press it. It is delicous. The chore today will be to pick as much mint as possible and freeze it! I picture fresh mint tea into the winter! I've also been putting a tad of mint into my green, Sancha tea, lovely!
