I can not believe this was not listed in my cupboard. I was so proud of getting a sipdown this morning and now I had to add a tea that I have literally owned for years.
For some reason I bought a one pound bag of this many years ago. I tend to avoid mint teas so why I did that is anyone’s guess. Maybe I thought I would make a habit of drinking it at night, or I just wanted to make mouse deterrent bags.
Anyway, here we are years later and still a big bag. I decided to try it as a syrup to add to Perrier for fizzy lunch drinks. I think we will knock it out this way this summer. It was really good even though it is old. I did add just a touch of vanilla to make it a little more interesting but it was fine as it was, too.
Now to work on the one pound bag of lavender that I bought around the same time. That one is half empty, though, because I enjoy making lavender syrup for lavender sodas!
Next time around, I will buy the small tin.
