Peppermint leaves in water?
Trust me, it is so simple and so delicious. Just a few peppermint leaves in a glass of water can brighten the whole experience of drinking water!
I usually just walk out to my garden and pick a few leaves, but we have not had the chance to start our gardens in Ithaca yet. (Yup, construction is still going…) A friend gave me some peppermint from her garden and I put it on the kitchen windowsill along with a basil and dill plant, so I am still able to enjoy fresh herbs while we wait for the construction to end and the gardening to begin!
Do you have any secrets to flavor water naturally?

I feel refreshed just reading this great reminder. I love just a couple of drops of peppermint hydrosols in my water too. We are lucky it is now summer and we can just pick the leaves……yum
Whenever we get tea in Amsterdam, if you don’t specify “black tea” what you get is hot water with a stalk of peppermint leaves.
Try and add to peppermint leaves, a rose and a slice of lemon (biologic, of course) in warm water infusion… You can drink it both warm and cold. It is refreshing, healthy and the taste is delicious
