AAH! Refreshing

For weeks, I had had the desire to make iced tea.

It is so refreshing on a hot day.

In addition, I had fresh mint growing on the porch.

I intended to "google" for a recipe,

but ended up searching through recipe books for the best way to use the fresh herbs.

I ended up with 

Fresh Mint Cooler

1 c fresh mint

4 c boiling water

ice

sugar (honey) to taste

* Place mint in large bowl; pour water over mint; let stand for 2 hours

* Strain mint mixture; discard mint.  Fill glasses with ice; add mint mixture and sugar.

*Note* I added honey while the mint mixture was still warm and then refrigerated.

Hubby said that he never wanted regular iced tea again.

I guess I will have to plant a mint patch to keep up with the demand :)
