Tea from your Garden

     A great way to take the chill off a cool, rainy Spring afternoon is to brew a fresh pot of tea.  This lovely tisane was prepared by simply snipping a handful of chocolate mint from my garden, giving it a rinse, dropping it into the teapot, and pouring boiling water over it.  I was amazed at how much nicer this tasted than brewing it from dried mint.  The flavor was so very full.
