Mint Honey Night Window

Honey makes peppermint tea softer and rounder, while the mint keeps its clear, cooling finish. It’s a simple combination, but different honeys can add noticeably different floral notes. Brew the tea before sweetening so you can judge how much it actually needs. A small spoonful is a starting point, not an instruction to make the cup sugary. The mint should remain refreshing, with honey smoothing the flavor rather than covering it.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1 tea bag Peppermint tea
• 1/2 tsp Honey (optional)

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
