Description
Bring the kettle to the boil and let the leaves unfurl: the aroma rises intense and pure, all crisp menthol and green coolness. The taste is bold and refreshing, leaving a clean, awakening finish on the palate. Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a natural hybrid of the Lamiaceae family, prized for centuries for its high menthol content. Loose leaf, it has long been enjoyed to settle the stomach after a meal and to ease the day's tensions. Steep a tablespoon in a litre of just-boiled water for three to four minutes, then strain. Lovely hot or poured over ice with a slice of lemon — a quiet pause here at the quay, or carried home.
