Mint Black Tea/ Pudina Sulaimani

It’s been long since I have posted a quote on the blog, I suppose. I wasn’t doing it mainly because I always had something or the other to rant about in every post of mine! Only when I face a dearth of subjects do I go to quotes for solace! 🙂 Today, though I have loads of words and ideas flinging in my mind, the ambiance and the mood is missing. Aren’t there times when you have quite a bit to express but then what comes out is sPino little? I am in a similar situation now and during these times, I really don’t enjoy bragging. So there you go, the quote for today:

 

Quite thought provoking… it is a very important yet difficult trait to develop. Many of us tend to panic and break down in difficult situations and I am no different. There were times when I have felt helpless, so desperate to seek solutions to matters that I know that I will not get instant relief, but still I have tried to see if I could do something and despaired. Not anymore, Alhamdulillah. It takes a lot of matters to reach that stage – a shift in your thought process, a change in your circumstances, a direction from the Almighty himself…

 

After having posted a heavy duty biriyani yesterday, I thought of posting something that goes so well after a meal of biriyani. Don’t we all feel sleepy as soon as we are done with a heavy meal? We all do, or at least I do! Most of the time at home, we always settle for a cup of hot black tea to settle down the uneasiness. If the tea has a tinge of mint, then the process will be much faster. Just sharing with you today my take on black tea with mint…

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh water
  • 1/2 tsp tea powder
  • 1 sprig mint leaves
  • Sweetener of your choice

Instructions

  • Pour the water into your tea saucepan and bring to boil.
  • As soon as you start seeing bubbles on the side, add in the tea powder along with the cleaned mint leaves.
  • Once boiled, switch off the flame and leave the tea for a couple of minutes for the mint to seep in.
  • Sieve and serve in your cups or glasses, sweetened with sugar or honey, as required! Seriously good for settling down any tummy heaviness... 🙂

Notes

The lightness/ darkness of the tea is all upto you. I prefer a mid color, as when tea gets dark, it tends to be bitter in taste.
