Dried Herbs & Spices

Natural dried Green Mint Leaves (mentha spicata) or spearmint, suitable for use as a kitchen herb and for making a delicious mint tea, herbal tea or ice tea. Also known as Aarmunt or Nane, Green Mint is the best choice for culinary use. Green mint or spearmint has a soft, mild and fresh taste as opposed to peppermint (mentha piperita), which has a much spicier and brighter taste due to the higher content of menthol in the plant.

Green mint, Spearmint or Aarmint also has many culinary applications and is often used to garnish drinks, desserts, meat, soups, vegetables and (fruit) salads. It can also be found in many cosmetic products such as toothpaste and shampoo.

MINT TEA

Dried Green Mint leaves have a more pronounced flavour than fresh mint leaves. Dried leaves are therefore always the best choice for dishes with stronger flavours. Because water absorbs the flavours of dried leaves better than fresh leaves, dried Green Mint leaves are the best choice for making mint tea.

Pure Mint Tea contains no allergens, calories or caffeine and can be a perfect addition to a diet and/or healthy lifestyle.

Preparation of Mint Tea

For 1 cup of tea:

Pour approximately 1 teaspoon (as you prefer) into boiling water and let steep for 3 to 5 minutes.

If you leave the Green Mint leaves to infuse for longer, the flavour of the Mint tea will become stronger. You can then remove the leaves from the tea, but for a stronger flavour you can also leave them in the tea.

Tip: You can add flavours of your choice such as a slice of lemon, cucumber, coconut sugar, cane sugar, honey... or combine with another herbal tea.
