Nothing compares to homemade tea. Whether its iced tea, matcha tea, or this hot fresh mint tea, making it at home always has the best results.

I love the flavor you get by using fresh herbs when making this tea. If you love big flavor from fresh ingredients, you should check out my strawberry iced tea made with real strawberry juice. YUM.

I got the idea to start making mint tea from fresh mint from my trip to the Netherlands. Every time that I ordered mint tea at a restaurant there, I was given a big glass of hot water with lots of fresh mint tea leaves inside, and a small pot of honey next to it. I was blown away with how delicious mint tea tasted this way, so I started making it like this at home.
