This weekend, I made it again with a bunch of mint from Union Square...and it was borderline gross. I poured the whole thing out. The mint itself tasted completely different - clearly, it was a different breed (is "breed" the right word for plants?). So I amend this post, adding that the type of mint you use is super important.<br /><br />But my mint issues aside, I'm guessing you didn't use enough. You need to use A LOT of fresh herbs in something like this - I estimate that I used the equivalent of about 4-5 cups of mint for a half-gallon water.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237921600705834870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918674200338298429.post-7001197719166832242011-06-05T22:11:15.728-04:002011-06-05T22:11:15.728-04:00Yum!

I just tried making tea with fresh mint last night (it smelled so good in my garden, and lord knows there's plenty of it), but it wasn't nearly as flavorful as when I use dried. Maybe I didn't use enough?Sam @ Parentheticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554555466537167304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918674200338298429.post-7043478398012305262011-06-04T18:54:22.338-04:002011-06-04T18:54:22.338-04:00That sounds delish!That sounds delish!Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.com
