Food in Process: Mint ginger tea

There is no escape from it: leg hair removal! Yes, it took
awhile but summer finally (sorta) arrived here in Holland.
The weather forecast promise us the upcoming days
to weekend sunshine and temperature above 20°
degrees. Me and my white legs both agree: we can't let
this opportunity go. Vitamine D, here I come!

Also, its important to keep your body hydrated in the
summer so here a healthy drink recipe according to
my papa: mint ginger tea.
Buying mint leafs at the supermarket is pretty expensive
in Holland so I recommend you to plant your own mint
in your yard, its super easy c:

 Da Recipe: handful fresh mint leafs, atleast 2 slices of ginger, 500ml water, 1 tbsp. honey

The good thing about this recipe: you can either drink it hot ór cold! 


Kind of reminds me of a glass of mojito, no? 


Da Steps: 
1. Wash the fresh mint with water and let them drain in a strainer. 
2. Boil up the water in a deep pan with a lid. 
3. When water is boiled, add the slices of ginger. Let it boil for 1 hour. Yes 1 hour. 
4. Pour the water in a clean tea pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. You don't add the mint leafs straight away, otherwise      they will turn yellow and that's not good :c 
5. Add the mint leafs and let it soak up the flavor for another 5 minutes. 
6. Ready to serve in your tea cup + add a teaspoon of honey to your liking! Enjoy!

Good luck!

  2. These are the moments where i think: why don't we have a back yard?! (T_T).
    So there is no other chance than go the expensive way to the supermarket (._.)°

  15. The tea looks so delicious! It's so true you need to stay hydrated, all year round but especially more in the summer. Water is good at keeping your body temperature down, too.
