Fresh peppermint tea v

This is the most refreshing way to end a meal, and good for the digestion if you’ve overindulged. You can use real peppermint, or spearmint, the variety most commonly grown in gardens and available in shops. It’s less intense than peppermint.

MAKES 1 POTFUL

a large bunch of peppermint or spearmint

boiling water

Cram the mint into a large tea pot or cafeti?re and fill to the top with boiling water.

Leave to stand for 4–5 minutes, then pour. If you’re using a cafeti?re you can push down the handle, separating the mint leaves from the water, as you would with coffee, but a teapot works fine too. You can top it up again with more boiling water if you wish.
