Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Fresh Mint and Lemon Tea

I've been trying to give up drinking tea after 7ish so I get to sleep better.

I ordered this in cafe in Amsterdam and it looked and tasted amazing in a big clunky glass mug packed full of minty stems.
I then promptly forgot about it until I was staring a my overgrown mint plant the other day. This is what I did.

Stuff a big handful of mint stems into a mug with a sliver of lemon rind and a generous pinch of sugar.
Pour over boiling water and leave to steep for a couple of minutes then viola,
tasty refreshing tea and caffine free!
