Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Mojito tea? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can adjust the amount of sugar, lemons and mint according to your taste. The larger the lemon, the more pronounced the taste of the drink. If your lemons are small, it is better to take 2 pieces. You can replace sugar with honey or another sweetener that is suitable for heat treatment.

Step 2

Step 2
Since the lemon is used with the peel, rinse the fruit thoroughly, scrub with a brush and rinse again. Cut the lemon in half and cut into slices. If you want a more pronounced lemon flavor, you can cut half the lemon into slices and squeeze the juice from the other half.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the mint. Tear off the leaves from the branches. Crush the leaves with your hands so they release the juice.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour clean water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. How to avoid bitterness in a drink? Bitterness is imparted by the white layer between the pulp itself and the zest. The thinner this layer is, the less bitterness there will be. Therefore, choose fruits with thin skin. If you see that the white layer is thick, then it is better to use only yellow zest and lemon juice. The bitterness doesn’t bother me, so I added whole lemon slices.

Step 5

Step 5
Place lemon slices and mint in a teapot. Add sugar. If the teapot is made of thin glass, like mine, you need to first rinse it with hot (not boiling) water before adding ingredients.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour boiling water into the kettle, trying to pour the water exactly into the center. If you pour on the walls, they may crack. Leave the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes under the lid. Add more sugar if necessary.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour the finished tea into cups and serve. Bon appetit!
