Brewing The Perfect Cup

To unlock the full potential of your twinings pure peppermint, correct temperature and timing are required. The peppermint leaves need hot water to release their volatile oils but should not be boiled for too long to avoid losing the delicate sweet notes. Please find our expert instructions below for a traditional hot serve, a refreshing iced sparkler, or our popular peppermint cloud latte.

The Barista Hot Serve Brewing Guide

• Measure: Use one individual peppermint tea bag per cup (approximately 200ml to 250ml).

• Pour: Use freshly boiled water. For the most velvety flavour, allow the water to settle for a few seconds before pouring over the bag.

• Steep: Infuse for 2 minutes for a light refreshing cup; leave for up to 5 minutes if you prefer a deeper more intense menthol kick for digestive support.

• Herbalist Tip: Always cover your mug while steeping. This traps the rising steam and prevents the precious volatile menthol oils from evaporating, ensuring a more potent cup.

The Iced Mint Sparkler Brewing Guide

• The Prep: Steep 2 bags in 200ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a potent mint concentrate.

• The Chill: Remove the bags and allow the liquid to cool completely.

• The Serve: Pour over a tall glass of ice and top with sparkling water and a slice of fresh lime. This creates a hydrating caffeine free iced tea that is especially revitalising during the summer months.

The Peppermint Cloud Latte Brewing Guide

• Why Try It: This popular alternative method creates a creamy dessert like drink that is often enjoyed as a soothing evening treat.

• The Concentrate: Steep 2 bags in just 100ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a strong botanical base.

• The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of oat milk or coconut milk. The creamy texture of the milk balances the sharp mint perfectly.

• The Combine: Pour the concentrate into a mug and top with the frothed milk. Add a small drop of dark chocolate syrup for a "mint choc" experience.
