5 Unique and Yummy Green Tea Recipes

1. Mint Lavender Green Tea

Start by pouring 12 cups of water into a pot on the stove or in a glass jar. If it’s summer, feel free to make sun tea using the glass jar. For winter, make it on the stove for soothing relief from the cold.

Add to the 12 cups of water 2 sprigs of mint and 4 green tea teabags. Before placing 3/4 of a tablespoon of dried lavender into the mix, place lavender into a tea ball.

If brewing your Mint and Lavender Green tea on the stove allow the water to come just short of boiling and then allow tea to steep anywhere for 1 minute to 7 minutes depending on how strong you enjoy your tea. If you’re making sun tea, allow 24 hours for the tea to sit in a well-lit location and brew. Lastly, remove the herbs and store leftovers in the fridge.
