I bought spearmint for cake decoration. When I was thinking about what to do with the surplus leaves, I found that the back of the package had instructions on how to make "herb flavored water". I decided to give it a try.
Mentha leaves can be left over, right?
I found on the back of the package how to make flavored water
It's very easy to make. Just put about 2g (0.07oz) of mint and 500ml (16.91us fl oz) of water in a container such as a bottle and cool it in the refrigerator for half a day to a day. The appearance remains transparent, but a refreshing drink with a faint mint scent spreads in the mouth. You can drink it as it is, but if you add lemon juice or carbonated drinks and arrange it, you will feel more refreshed.
Put the mint in the jar and
Add water and chill in the refrigerator
The color remains transparent, but the mint scent has been transferred.
Mintha water can be a refreshing experience not only on hot days but also during desk work and dieting. Besides, it seems that you can make flavored water using various herbs such as basil and lemon balm. If you pass the herb department, why not buy some and give it a try?
