HOMEMADE MINT TEA (A DELICIOUS DIY GIFT, TOO!)

Homemade Mint Tea (a Delicious DIY Gift, Too!)

If you’ve ever grown mint, you’ll know it can quickly take over a garden—but I’m not complaining, though. I think its verdant expanse spreading through my flower beds is freakin’ gorgeous. And there’s no end to its delicious uses. I love it torn into this spiralised honey & garlic cucumber salad, bejewelling these edible flower lollies, blended into this watermelon granita, and adding fresh vibes to my favourite quinoa Tabbouleh, or this creamy cashew & carrot soup.

Homemade Mint Tea (a Delicious DIY Gift, Too!)

I could go on—the list is endless!—but what we’re here for right now is the easiest of ways to use up your mint, make a proper fresh cuppa, AND even craft a beautiful gift with minimal effort.

Homemade Mint Tea (a Delicious DIY Gift, Too!)

So let’s make some tea, shall we?

Sharing is caring! This post contains affiliate links, meaning I get a small commission for any purchases you make when clicking on the links (at no extra cost to you)—which is AMAZEBALLS, because I can keep testing out products to share with you guys!

There’s a few ways you can make mint tea: some days, I literally throw a couple fresh leaves into a cup, pour in the hot water, and let steep. Sometimes I use a loose leaf tea infuser, like this one, or a glass teapot infuser if I’m feeling fancy.

And then there’s my all-time fave way to make mint tea (or any herbal or floral tea)—and then pass it on as a beautiful gift: using disposable paper tea bags, like these perfect little drawstring bags. They’re made from 100% natural, unbleached material, so there’s no nasties leaching into the tea (who wants to drink chemicals in their cuppa??), and they’re biodegradable, too. A thoughtful, simple gift for a loved one and our planet!

All you need to do is fill your bags with 2-3 large, clean and dry mint leaves, gently pull the drawstrings closed, and package them for the recipient! I like to thread a preprinted tea tag on to the drawstring if I’m gifting the tea—grab my faaaavourite printable labels here, FREE! (We also love using the bags for lavender (about a teaspoon of buds per bag), and chrysanthemum flowers (about 3-6 dried flowers per bag).

You can also use coffee filters, a bit of string, and a stapler, to make your DIY tea bags. Simply:

  • Cut the coffee filter into a rectangle.
  • Put your mint leaves, herbs, or flowers, into the centre.
  • Insert a small length of plain string into the pocket, too, leaving the bulk of the length outside of the filter pocket.
  • Fold the sides over into the middle.
  • Fold the top down and staple.

If you’re not gifting the mint tea bags immediately, the mint leaves will begin to curl and lose colour, but they’ll still impart a fresh flavour—just make sure you store the bags in an airtight container and try to gift them within a few days!

Tea time!

Is there a name for someone who obsessively collec Is there a name for someone who obsessively collects cookie recipes (and cookies)? Cookiephile? Alistair Cookie? Whatever the word, I’m that. And here’s another COOOOKIE recipe from da blog—chunky and chewy in the all the right places, with the mellow, comfy-to-the-max vibes of peanut butter, and sweet toffee undertones thanks to dark brown sugar. ALSO! Completely *flourless*, so perfect for paleo, or just lazy bakers. Like me. TAP link in bio, and SAVE this for repeat PB & choc-chip cookie bliss. ⚡️🍪
