Mint Tea
Dear Diary,
Mint tea means summer evening. It means a big yellow chair and a book. It means I am ready to rest. Simply Pick some fresh mint leaves from the garden and steep in boiling water. It is the simplest idea around.
It is a cure for busy. It is a balm for tired. It is a recipe for simplicity.
Straight from the garden to your cup.
In the winter you can grow it on your window sill.

















Lemon balm is my fresh pick from our garden. Secretly brought back from Switzerland from my husband’s Grossmitti’s rural garden, it is a pleasant memory from our visits with her. Quiet, restful days in the garden with the alps far off in the distance. Although sold several years ago after Grossmutti’s death, we took our kids there last year to share this special space with them.
