Homemade Peppermint Rose Iced Tea
















Ever wondered what to do with the gorgeous roses that are dying on your kitchen counter? How about the peppermint that is rotting in your fridge. Well, maybe I am the only one obsessed with having no waste - this tea was my recent solution to the above dilemma.

Ingredients:

Fresh Roses that are starting to wilt
Fresh Peppermint that is starting to brown at the edges
Agave Nectar.

Directions:

1) Dehydrate Rose Petals and Peppermint- either in a dehydrator, or by tying them in bundles with string and hanging the bundles upside down until they are dry (about 7 days).

2) Crush dried Roses and Peppermint and mix them together. Make sure the pieces are not so small that a sieve won't catch them when you are steeping the tea.

3) Boil water and steep tea

4) Add agave nectar until it is sweet enough for you and then cool in fridge for 3 to 6 hours (or just add ice).
