CibbuanoRose and Mint Tea
June 20th 2008 10:58
I'm not usually a tea drinker but was served a rather nice cup of Rose and Mint tea while over at a friend's place a couple of nights ago which I thought I would share with you all.
The aroma and taste of rose buds with the freshness of mint leaves and zesty lime juice is a wonderful combination to create a very refreshing drink and a brilliant cuppa.
Ingredients:
20 Dried pink Roses buds
20g Fresh Mint Leaves
1/2 Lime
1 tbsp Rose Syrup
2 cups Water
Method:
1) Squeeze the lime juice into a bowl before slicing the lime peel into large pieces. Soak rose buds in hot water briefly.
2) Clean mint leaves. Add water to saucepan and bring to the boil. Add lime peels and mint leaves and cook for 5 minutes.
3) Add roses, cover saucepan and let them sit in hot water for about 10 minutes. Add rose syrup and stir well.
4) Reserve only the tea and mix with lime juice before serving hot.
