Tasting Notes
Counter-intuitively, the menthol oils infuse more easily from the dried leaf, giving a brighter, cleaner flavour than fresh mint.
Quantity
Use 0.1 oz of leaf per 5.5 fl oz of water (0.5g per 150ml).
Temperature
For the optimum infusion use 212°F (100°C) water.
Time
Infuse for 30 - 60 seconds, tasting regularly.
Infusions
You can infuse these herbs at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.
