Brewing Twinings Buttermint (Peppermint and Butterscotch)
How to brew Twinings Buttermint: just boiled water and a good steep for a cool peppermint cup with a butterscotch note.
Twinings Buttermint is an unusual one: cool peppermint leaf with a sweet butterscotch note over the top, so it drinks more like a mint dessert than a plain herbal, and there is no caffeine in it. Give it a five minute steep in just boiled water to pull out both the mint and the butterscotch.
