Boil at least two cups of water in a pan

Take about a handful of mint leaves and tear them.

Add the leaves depending on how strong a tea you would want.

Let the water boil for a few minutes. Don’t strain the water right after you turn the burner off. Let the water soak up all the goodness of mint.

Now strain it and pour it in a cup or mug. If you wish to add some more taste to your tea, you can add a hint of honey into it. Remember, you must add honey only after you have made the tea

Go ahead, go get some goodness in a cup.
