Revel in the distinct anise-like flavor of the Mexican Mint Marigold (also known as Texas Tarragon) with this calming and aromatic tea. Hydroponically grown Mexican Mint Marigold ensures that you have the purest and most potent flavors in your brew, free from soil contaminants and external pollutants.
Ingredients:
- Hydroponically Grown Mexican Mint Marigold Leaves: 1/4 cup, freshly picked and washed
- Water: 2 cups
- Honey or Agave Nectar: 1-2 tablespoons, depending on desired sweetness (optional)
- Lemon Slice: For garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preparation: Ensure your hydroponically grown Mexican Mint Marigold leaves are well rinsed. Being hydroponically grown, they are typically cleaner than their soil-grown counterparts, but a gentle rinse is always recommended.
- Boiling Water: In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.
- Infusing the Tea: Once the water is boiling, add the Mexican Mint Marigold leaves to the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the flavor will become.
- Sweetening: After simmering, remove the pot from heat. If desired, stir in honey or agave nectar to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Serving: Strain the tea into cups, ensuring no leaves are poured into your drink. Garnish with a slice of lemon if desired, and enjoy your aromatic and calming Mexican Mint Marigold tea!
Tip: The anise-like flavor of Mexican Mint Marigold pairs beautifully with citrus flavors. Consider adding a splash of fresh orange juice or a few crushed mint leaves for a refreshing twist. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or looking for a unique beverage to serve guests, this tea is sure to impress.
