I might have bought this at Target because the tin appealed to me. Maybe. I love my little Harney tins and recover them with other companies’ labels to reuse them. WP bags are a great size for that. If only they locked together when stacked!
Anyway, my tummy is a bit unhappy tonight so I made some of this and I am really enjoying it! I don’t know what about the peppermint makes the brew tea colored, so that was a surprise.

Their tins are gorgeous, especially those colored ones. I’m always tempted to buy one when I’m at Target, too. :P
I partially bought Paris because of the tin.
These tins are so adorable:P
Was the peppermint super strong? :D
I steeped it for 5 minutes and I really loved the way it turned out, I could see it becoming a habit. It was pleasant but I wouldn’t say too strong.
Thank you! I might just have to try this one out, then:]
I have a few of these empty tins, but I’m afraid to use them because the scent lingers (cinnamon in one, vanilla in one, mint in one). Marzipan, how did you clean them out? I soaked them for about a day with soap and water and then scrubbed them with soap and hot water, but they still smell like they might contaminate any tea I put in there.
mj, usually I wash them and then let them just sit on the counter and air out for a few days.
Denture tablets! My daughter has a retainer so we have a huge box. They are magic.
Thanks guys! I must make sure my teas are safe from flavor contamination :)
Marzipan, wow, thanks for the tip! I’ll be sure to try that. :D
I also use the tabs on my gravity steeper and the tea stains come right off.
Oo that’s a great idea!
I love peppermint tea. I tend to have a cup every day, although I can’t drink it right now due to heartburn from pregnancy :( Definitely one of the things I’m looking forward to getting back to in a little less than three months.
