Mint Tea

When I first started this blog I really wanted it to be about all sorts of tea that I could make. Then I thought I'd incorporate different types of liquor and how they I tasted in order to pick the right one to accompany a meal. Fast forward a couple of years and the blog is now more about cakes and desserts. I must say, even though the majority of the post are about desserts, this blog is really about my in Namibia but told through the different food (be it liquid or solid) that I eat.





So, after years (or maybe months) of neglect I have made a "tea", if you can call it that. I have been feeling a bit under the weather and have overused the "ginger and honey" and "lemon and honey" pairings for tea and decided to make mint tea. All you do is take a bunch of fresh mint leaves and put them in a cup then add freshly boiled water and let it infuse for a few minutes before drinking. It is as simple as that and soothes the throat and helps decongest the nasal passages. If you prefer you could sweeten the tea.
