Drink mint tea for 2022

Drink mint tea for 2022 and start the new year on a fresh minty way. Refreshing. Share with family and friends.

What is mint?

No it is not mints in candy form that you buy in the store. Mint is a member of the Herb family therefore it grows in the ground or in pots.

Why mint?

The scent of mint is strong therefore making it a good choice to brew into a delicious hot or cold tea or even flavored water.

Different types of mint

Growing mint is relative easy to do. I like to grow different types of mint in containers. They are heavy growers therefore it is better to grow them separately in containers. The different types of mint can be used in a variety of drinks and dishes. You get apple mint, chocolate mint, peppermint, spearmint to name just a few basic plants.
