Ingredients:
A squeeze of Mānuka Honey
1 cup water
1 hand full of fresh mint leaves (around 1/2 cup)
Method:
Pour boiled water into a teapot or bowl and add fresh mint leaves, saving a few sprigs for garnishing, and cover. Steep for more than 5 minutes.
Pour the tea into a mug, straining the mint leaves.
Add a squeeze of Manuka Honey. Finish off with leftover fresh mint for extra taste and garnishing, if desired.
Chill the tea and blend up some ice in a high-powered blender. Combine the two, and you’ve created a Manuka mint snow cone!
