Chef’s Secret

For a stronger brew, steep longer or use two bags, but be careful not to over-steep, which can introduce bitterness. Chill and use as a base for refreshing summer cocktails.

Substitutions

Best Match

Loose Leaf Mint Tea

1:1

Best for flavor control, requires infuser.

Fresh Mint Leaves

1:1

Provides vibrant, fresh mint flavor, suitable for cold beverages or garnish.

Peppermint Extract

Few drops

Concentrated mint flavor for baking or cocktails, not a direct tea substitute.

Other Herbal Tea (Chamomile)

1:1

For a calming hot beverage, but without the mint flavor.
