The mint recipes are easy to make, especially for those who don’t like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I also love using fresh mint because it has a stronger flavor. You won’t get as much of a minty taste when you use fresh mint. But this is why you want to use fresh mint instead of buying pre-made tea.
