Have you ever grown mint? It’s essentially a weed which grows profusely. I first enjoyed a glass of this extremely refreshing beverage in an outdoor market in Asidah in Morocco. Once you've made your own tea with fresh mint leaves, hot water, and sugar you'll never be able to stand for a tea bag again.
Why is mint tea great for emergencies?
If you grow mint in your garden you can make this fragrant and sweet beverage with nothing more than hot water and sugar. It's an easy mental refresher, and oddly enough, I enjoy it on both cold and hot days.
