Thank you so much for the recipe! My grandmother was Pennsylvania Dutch. She passed before I was born. I love the PA Dutch heritage. I haven't made this tea in years and forgot how to. I made it with brown sugar, cane sugar,and honey.I added a slice of orange and lemon to my glass with ice cubes of course! So Yummy 😋❤

Meadow Tea can be made out of several kinds of mint leaves. Spearmint, Peppermint, lemon mint, etc. There is an abundant amount of types of mint plants out there to choose from. Using several of your favorites together in the tea to your own liking will be your own special "meadow tea". You may even add lemon balm to it and that is good with the mint, as well. Some people like to add lemongrass and yerba tea into the mix, as well. Usually it is made with mint leaves, your choice, only.

Meadow tea! Never lasts long at our house. Just a tip, when removing the tea leaves, put them in a colander or sieve and when cool enough squeeze the leaves to get ALL that yummy goodness. I use evaporated cane sugar and decrease it alot. My mother sweetens her tea with stevia or xylitol. It's not bad tasting at all. Love Bubba's giggles!

I have an iced tea pot, and I can't live without iced tea all year round, so I'm so happy when the mint comes in and I can put it right in the basket with the green and black tea. I know I could dehydrate it, too, but...I also drink it "straight", so I keep a candy jar full of stevia packets for the rest of the crew to mix in their tea. When you do that, it tastes just like Turkey Hill Green Tea. One year at a garden center they had a ton of mint "varieties ", for some reason the apple mint didn't take but the chocolate mint did in a huge way, so I have that too, and lemon balm. I'm not Mennonite, but have PA Dutch ancestry. So yeah, I eat violets. Love your channel, and we also love going down to Lancaster to the markets and such.

I believe your meadow tea is made with spearmint tea. Most grocery stores sell it as a plant in the produce dept. I grow it outside as well as inside but make it by the cupful by putting a few leaves in my cup of boiling water. I don't use any sweetener. I am of Lebanese decent and am very fond of using spearmint in salads and with other recipes. Side note: spearmint is full of natural folic acid, vitamin c and other great nutrients. I have found that it gives me a little nourish energy boost. Cheers!

Unless mennonites have their very own special plant, I’m assuming it’s the same thing especially since my grandpa’s dad was raised Amish ( in Pennsylvania actually), and we are part of the anabaptist movement. However, I’m always surprised to find new things out. I just never had a recipe with actual equivalents nor did I know you could freeze it! That’s awesome!

Is this peppermint or spearmint? I always dry the leaves for my winter tea supplies. Really delicious.

Peppermint/spearmint/wooly mint leave blends usually. But any wild mint leaves will work.

Just a tip I saw the other day that I thought of as soon as I saw you peeling leaves.... I saw a lady overseas taking the stems and pulling them through the hole on a colander....it was awesome, because it peeled the leaves off the stems quick as a wink! I wonder if your plant is in the mint family....do the stems look square??

Fun timing in watching your video today!! I bought a peppermint plant this spring for the first time. Just yesterday I picked some leaves and had my first cup of hot tea... absolutely loved it!! Never heard of Meadow tea, but definitely am going to try it after my plant grows a little more...thank you!! Not sure if the peppermint is the right kind for Meadow tea, but will see how it turns out. 😊
