Hot Herbal Tea
Place 1–2 grams of dried herb into a container with a lid.*
Add 200ml (one cup) of hot water at around 90°C.*
Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, giving the herb time to release its hidden strength! The longer you let it steep, the stronger the infusion will be.
Remove the herb from the container.
Your tea is ready to enjoy! If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a bit of honey.
*The water should be just below boiling to prevent the essential oils from evaporating. Using a covered container helps trap the aroma and beneficial properties in your cup.
Iced Herbal Tea
Follow the same steps as for the hot tea, with one key difference: double the amount of herb. Once the tea is ready, pour it into a glass full of ice and enjoy it plain or with a touch of honey!
The name diosmos (spearmint) comes from the ancient Greek word “hedyosmos,” meaning “pleasant scent.” Widely used in cooking, it truly stands out for its distinctive aroma! Spearmint has been cultivated since the Minoan era and was one of the treasured herbs stored in palace warehouses. It was also used in the making of perfumes.
Today, we use it to flavor salads and meatballs, give a fresh twist to pies, compotes, fruit salads, and any dish that calls for a touch of its signature freshness. It’s also brewed as a herbal tea to enjoy its medicinal benefits. In Crete, it adds a fragrant note to the traditional Easter kalitsounakia!
