I have a mint patch with aspirations to take over the world, one garden at a time. So, before it achieves that, I thought I would put a few handfuls of it to good use. Mint tea sounds nice, but mint, basil and lemon with some honey sounds like a summer dream in a hammock. Mint and Basil Sun tea 2 quarts water (I used filtered, but tap or stream water will be good too I am sure) 2 handfuls of mint 1 handful basil 1/4 cup honey 2 lemons – juiced I am taking these measurements as a start as I expect to need more lemon or mint or something (vodka?!). Wash the herbs and give them a squeeze to release the herby flavour. Mix everything together and put the tea in a sealed glass jar or two and stand it in the sun for a couple of hours to brew. I would think this would also work in the fridge, but then you would have to call it ‘fridge tea’ to avoid misleading …
