Total Time 1 hour
Servings 2 quarts

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid
  • Slotted spoon
  • Food processor
  • fine sieve

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Fresh peppermint leaves
  • 1/4 cup Fresh ginger root
  • 8 cups Hot water
  • 1/2 cup Raw honey

Instructions

  • In a large pot with a lid, place the water in with the lid on and bring to a boil. 
  • Meanwhile, wash the peppermint and rough chop it. Chopping helps to stimulate the release of the peppermint oil. 
    Peel and rough chop the ginger root. 
  • When the water has begun to boil, place the mint and ginger in, lid on and bring it back to a boil.
    Once the water is boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow to steep for 30 minutes.
  • With a spider spoon or large slotted spoon, lift out all the solid pieces and transfer to a food processor. 
    Puree the solid pieces until they turn into a paste-like consistency. Transfer this herbal paste to a fine mesh sieve and press out as much liquid as possible back into the pot of tea. It is in this herbal paste that much of the natural oils can be extracted. 
  • Whisk in the honey, cool and store in a closed container in the refrigerator. 
    Drink about half a cup at a time throughout the period of digestive discomfort. 

Notes
