Liquormint

Peppermint has been a favourite in herbal teas for generations, prized for its cool, refreshing flavour. Liquorice root, treasured in both Eastern and Western herbal traditions, lends natural sweetness and warmth. Spearmint rounds out the blend with its own gentle, naturally sweet mintiness.

Use 1 heaped teaspoon per cup in 100°C water.

The steep time is completely personal; there's no hard and fast rule on your own personal taste.

• If you like a milder brew, steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

• A little bit stronger brew, steep from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

• If you really like a strong brew, steep for as long as you like!

Sweeten to taste with honey, lemon or rock sugar.

Remember, the beauty of loose leaf teas is that the blends can be brewed a few times, although they will be weaker each time.
