Amazing Mint Tea!

Yesterday I had the most amazing cup of mint tea I've ever had. Seriously. It was also unbelievably expensive, especially considering what it had in it. I picked up some herbs at the market yesterday and today made a cup that was just about a duplicate of the storebought one. Ready? Here it is.

Amazing Mint Tea

makes 1 cup or a small pot

1 small handful of crisp spearmint leaves, freshly picked off the stems
2 fresh sage leaves
1 fresh basil leaf
1 green cardamom pod

Put the herbs and the pod in a cup. Boil water and let sit for a few minutes. Pour the water over the herbs. Infuse for as long as you like. I thought it was still tasty after sitting about 5 minutes. Strain if you want. Or just dodge the leaves as you drink. :)
