How To Harvest, Dry, And Store Your Garden Mint Tea!

Watch as I show you an easy process in harvesting, drying, and storing my garden mint tea! I have Apple mint, Spearmint, and Chocolate mint tea! It grows in abundance in my garden, and we have refreshing blended ice tea in the summer and steaming hot tea in the winter time! Enjoy!

Oh I love mint. Thanks for sharing Priscilla beautiful as always. I bet your guest room smelled Devine drying that mint. 🍃 ☕️

[@gracehillgranny5445]

I just found your channel while searching mint harvest and drying. What lovely lady and easy tutorial you've shared. Daughter just got me started in outdoor herbs at my place. Thanks so much.

[@shelleyyates6855]

Aw Priscilla you're such a lovely lady I enjoyed watching this video, I bet the smell of that tea was lovely, thank you for sharing, big hugs from UK, God Bless.

I love mint tea ,I could smell the sweet fragrance when you were cutting and drying it☕🍪🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝

[@lindadow6389]

Hi Priscilla, I enjoy so much watching all of your videos. But this one was especially inspiring, as I have never seen tea made from fresh leaves before. I definitely would like to try this some time.

[@JESUSlovesyouall]

I love fresh mint tea! I also make tea from mullein, lemon balm, horse mint and self heal plants.

[@tawniafreeman3818]

I had no idea how 2 do the preservation of tea. I absolutely love learning from you. Your such a beautiful amazing woman. Thank you

Very nice to see your tutorial!

[@trenaoquinn753]

Just love your channel ❤️

[@donnaswanson4269]

Thanks for the tutorial Priscilla. I've been drying mint and other herbs for a number of years now, but this gave me a few ideas on how to improve the process.

[@allaboardtheark4521]

Excellent!! Thank you!!!

[@LitoGeorge]

Thanks Joas wife! I am inspired - though I would have no mint tea left over after winter thats for sure, its my favourite. I love the way your face lights up when you smile. Genuine compliment. Thanks to Joas, you (sorry, I forgot your name), and your family.

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you! My wife’s name is Priscilla.

Danke für die Tipps

Looks great

Love This!

[@SewTeresa]

Garden tea is my favorite. It sure doesn’t grow like that here in Florida. But I can grow a little.

[@gigib4076]

So interesting, thank you!

[@martharinebiseko1457]

I do grow herbs...love mint. I take it mainly fresh coz in Uganda it grows all year round. I do dry in my guest room too. I use the dry on my travels. Spear mint is my favourite for tea. Chocolate mint for smoothies

[@MontanaHaven]

🤗❤️

[@garrykingmusic]

Excellent

[@jenniferlee7167]

This was great! I should have known how to do this a few years ago when I owned and operated a tea shop. This mint tea is really good and I used to drink it when I lived in Egypt...just as you do only mint...sometimes we could mix it with dark tea and than was lovely too. Thank you for showing all your viewers how you harvest and dry your mint.

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you for your kind comments Jennifer!

[@annemarks675]

Thankyou for sharing . Bet it tastes amazing xxxxx

[@rosetroyer1823]

What a lovely tea patch . We tried a few times growing tea here in PA but never got much .

[@MontanaHaven]

Hmmm. Maybe the soil? Usually easy to grow.

[@tithlee]

Really like yours methods...so much similar to things my mom and grandma did with almost all sorts of veggies and fruits back in India. I kinda lost that touch after coming to US and getting distracted with other stuff. This encourages me...always been in my heart to pick up again where my mom left off.

Welcome to our channel and I’m glad this encourages you! Blessings to you!

[@triciagreen8581]

How long does it take to dry? Your place is beautiful

[@saintamerican6105]

all i can think about are spiders crawling around in that beautiful greenery :)

[@charlottestevens5988]

I enjoy all of your videos. This one inspired me to try growing my own tea. Can you tell me how long it takes for the tea to dry? Thank you and God bless you and your family.

[@MontanaHaven]

It takes about two weeks to dry.

[@kimmyfromtn6330]

Thanks for your ideas. The tea looks lovely. Do you mix the dried tea leaves together? How long do you soak the tea leaves in hot water before you drink the tea? I’ve never tried this method before. It’s very interesting. Will look forward to growing and drinking my own tea 🍵. Thanks for sharing. God Bless 🙏❤️

[@MontanaHaven]

Yes, we mix a different varieties together. We steep the tea leaves in hot water for five minutes or more, Depending on how intense you want the flavor. You will love it!

[@shallyjoseph3690]

I enjoy tea and here in india we love tea with milk in it :) Nowadays however it has become a fad to drink green tea and other kinds of similar tea - all the influence from China - but there is nothing like a good tea with milk :0)

[@sarahfry4144]

Do you wash the tea before drying?

[@tamellavaala3784]

I'm in growing zone 4. Will the three mint varieties grow well here? Where can I get all three varieties?

[@michellelindsay5727]

Priscilla the beginning of this vlog is heavenly; the scenery is devine. I have a question in regard to your tea garden...is it difficult to grow those types of teas in particular regions? How long did it take for your tea to spread out in that large area? How long have your been growing your tea garden? Thank you. 💕

[@MontanaHaven]

This tea is very easy to grow. I think it will grow almost anywhere as it spreads super fast! We actually have to keep chopping out the tea because it wants to spread out too far into our garden. So we only started with a couple small plants and now it has spread in several years to that huge of an area.

[@michellelindsay5727]

Montana Haven Thank you for replying and all of the great information. I’ve shared already with my husband.

[@perkissluv]

💚💚💚

[@veronwatkis2501]

Priscilla, Gafternoon does the tea mint comes back after the winter...

[@MontanaHaven]

yes!

[@monicamiller2613]

Love your channel!!! I don't have a garden, could I grow some mint in the house? I know you had a few types of mint you are growing, but what kind would be good to grow?

[@MontanaHaven]

Mint tea is very very easy to grow! If you’re not careful it gets out of hand fast almost like a weed! Yes you can definitely grow it in your house! Just go to a greenhouse and buy a couple small varieties to figure out what you like. We have chocolate, mint and chamomile.

[@MontanaHaven]

Sorry, not chamomile but apple mint.

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

That looks very nice and healthy, have you ever thought of dehydrating? #letsdehydrate is a collection of people who do this and Paige family Homestead put this together to share information and education of different ideas. Enjoy, Cheers

[@LitoGeorge]

My dehydrator burnt out so I just made a "biltong box" this week (I'm South African, in Canada). I just got the idea to use the oversized box I made to dry mint - what a great idea - and inspired by your post. Thanks!

[@MontanaHaven]

Will have to check that out! Yes we do some dehydrating but not very much.

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

@@MontanaHaven Good exposure getting more subscribers from different areas of life. Cheers

[@Peace-on-earth771]

You don’t wash it ?
