"Mint Tea" and "Ginger Mint Tea"

I must admit, for the last two years I've been so busy with completing my degree that I haven't cooked, baked, let alone make a cup of tea from scratch!

I apoligise to the only person that has been reading my blog. So, what type of tea have I been drinking in the last two years?
When I was a student, and now still, Woolworths has been my best friend. Woollies stocks the best chai tea blend (the one infused with vanilla is devine). Their mint tea and chamomille tea is also delicious.

Last night I thought, "new year, and its time for me to go back to the old me - the better me". So I searched around in my spice cupboard and used some of the herbs to try out a mint tea.

You will need:

1 part Marjoram
2 parts Mint
1 part Sage
1 part Woodruff

Boil cold, fresh water. Place all the ingredients in the water once it has reached a boil. Remove from the heat. Let the tea seep for 5 minutes and strain.

Ginger Mint Tea

This morning I decided to add 1 and a half ginger root, which i had crushed to two teaspoons of mint. the procedure is exactly the same for the Mint tea
