[@bennitori4]

I love everything about this video. The clear love of what you're doing, the pride and enthusiasm you clearly have for your entire garden, and the fact that you give it to us straight from the heart. No performance, no gimmicks. Just talking to us as if we were right there in the garden with you. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Thank you for your kind words and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!

Mint tea is so incredibly refreshing! I much prefer it over “regular” tea.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Hi Kyler, yeah, we love our mint tea, it is so refreshing!

[@sethcalkins2744]

Great video! I like how you talk about the difference between the timing of the steaping. You're my kind of guy, brother! :D

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Glad to help! 🙂

This morning I made my mint infusion following your recipe. It's delicious!!! Thanks again for sharing your gardening knowledge and plant-based recipes.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

That's great… Glad to hear!

[@valhowe1950]

Thanks! I wanted to ask the same question. Since the tea was brown, I wondered if you dried it first. I've got plenty of mint, tomorrow I'll be drinking it!!!

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

I just love the flavor/taste that mint adds to tea. Have a wonderful day and hope you enjoy your tea! :)

Fred can't wait to see your garden videos this year 2019.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Hi Kate… I probably won’t be doing anymore garden videos this year because I have already finished doing 700 videos… I have pretty much covered every subject that I can think of in the garden… Thanks for your concern and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!

Thank you.

You’re welcome! 😊

That was funny, “Have met his friend, Mr. Potato Squash 😂.

[@augustawilliamsjr.2898]

You are so cool

[@mrthud1981]

Now can you reuse the mint sprigs/leaves after making the tea for anything?

[@ryanhingorani4019]

Compost!

[@Kerlasia]

I'm so confused. Every time I try to make mint tea (tried it with both peppermint and spearmint), it always ends up smelling and tasting like potatoes. It's not the pot or the water I'm using. Can't find anything on Google about this either...

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Have you had any of your friends do a taste test on your mint tea to see what think it tastes like?

[@Kerlasia]

@@PlantSmartLivingNOW I think it's just that I wasn't steeping it long enough. After I left that comment I tried your method and it tasted much less potato-y and much more minty 🙂 There must be some kind of compound responsible for the starchy flavor that gets broken down after a while. Also, this video is so wholesome. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@agnesklade8930]

We have wild mint can we use that dose it matter its spearmint

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

I am not familiar with wild mint… But I would certainly experiment with it and give it a try!

[@kunpomchanel6337]

every every nice

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Thank you!

[@AncientHippie]

I make Spearmint Tea and after straining it I toss the spearmint around the perimeter of the property, deer don't like the smell.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Thanks for stopping by and sharing! 😊

[@olgamarchenko6576]

I like it !!!! Thank you!

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

You're welcome!

[@montemosteller3007]

What kind of spearmint did you grow?

[@OldTimerGarden]

went to link to purchase mason jar handle but it was no longer available but found them at joieshop.com for those looking for them.

Serve hot with a dash of honey for the most amazing sore throat relief you'll ever get.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Thanks Kevin for stopping by and sharing! 😊

[@greendrinkguy1882]

pouring hot water into tupperware is a very bad idea. even cold water will pull out petro-chemicals from the plastic, but HOT water will do it 100 times faster. even if it is just for a few seconds. Great that u let it "cool down" but.. without a frig, it's not likely gonna cool down enough
