refreshed

先日、産直で買ったミント。1束50円。葉っぱをちぎって水の中に入れとくと、ふわっと爽やかな香りと味でリフレッシュしてくれるドリンクになります。お湯を入れてミント・ティーでもいけるけど、水のほうが好き。そしてこれ、お得なことに、1日中水を何度入れ替えても風味が落ちることがないのです。葉っぱを取られて裸になった茎は、水に逆さに挿しとけば、確か根っこが出てくるはず・・・待ち遠しいな。

I bought a bunch of menthe at a farmers' market. It was 50 yen! Put the leaves in water and it tastes and smells really nice & fresh. It's best for starting a day, pause-cafe, and after bath:) You can make menthe tea, but I prefer menthe water.
After taking off all the leaves, put the rest, the stem, in water. I wonder how soon I will be able to see its root coming out...:))

    Oh, never? But you probably know or have tried other kind of herbal tea, right?

    Thanks for your concern:) I'm doing fine, though a little busy as always, heehee.
