Heresy.<BR/>Celestial Seasonings has the best herbal teas ever, including a great peppermint one (good on the stomach) and a spearmint one, etc. Those are nice folks-sent me a case of mint tea one time when I was in Nevada and the stores didn't stock Celestial Seasonings. Give it a try. Mandarin Orange in the winter with a spoon of honey (not to say a dollop of whiskey) is the very thing to ward off a chill.<BR/>LawMomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-30265409913999788152007-08-25T07:17:00.000-05:002007-08-25T07:17:00.000-05:00Bosque County Method is less work intensive.

Toss it in the tea and mash one leaf against the side of the glass. Remaining leaves are for the refills. Key thing here is finding proper mint....it doesn't all taste the same.

Also, Starbucks in Barnes and Noble sells the most fantastic Peppermint Herbal(=caffeine free) Tea by Harney and Son's Fine Teas. I love making Iced Tea with it. It's very refreshing in the summer months. I think even more so than regular tea. Now, I have to confess that I haven't made my iced tea with honey. I may have to try that. I use Stevia, which is a natural, no calorie sweetener, instead.<BR/><BR/>This has inspired me. I am going to go make some iced tea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-31779557756736567682007-08-23T19:48:00.000-05:002007-08-23T19:48:00.000-05:00sigh. typo. jasminesigh. typo. jasmineConstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702046097986873803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-18957801349071285252007-08-23T19:47:00.000-05:002007-08-23T19:47:00.000-05:00That and jasine are my two favorites.That and jasine are my two favorites.Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702046097986873803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-91425412134009748862007-08-23T19:16:00.000-05:002007-08-23T19:16:00.000-05:00So what do you put in the tea-bags?;)So what do you put in the tea-bags?<BR/>;)Lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281676558516912247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-82433788267748178992007-08-23T17:10:00.000-05:002007-08-23T17:10:00.000-05:00Thanks!

And this is easier than trying to find a store that is open at 1am when her prenancy hormones hit and she wants mint tea NOW!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
