Tasting notes and guidance
How to prepare peppermint herbal infusion
To bring out the full character of peppermint, use a spring water or low-mineral water. Steep the leaves for 5 to 10 minutes, adjusting to your preferred strength.
How much peppermint herbal infusion should you use?
To fully enjoy the aromas, we recommend using 13 to 18 grams of leaves per litre. Use a tea infuser, teapot or tea bag depending on your preference, and allow to steep for several minutes.
What is the ideal brewing temperature for peppermint herbal infusion?
Bring water to a full boil, then steep at 100°C to release the full intensity of the peppermint. You can also add a little sugar or a spoonful of honey to your cup. In summer, peppermint infusion is equally wonderful served chilled over ice.
When should you drink peppermint herbal infusion?
Day or evening, you can enjoy your peppermint infusion at any time. After a meal, it will help you digest and feel light and refreshed. Warming in winter and cooling in summer, it suits every season. That said, we'd recommend avoiding it just before bed, as its energising properties may make it harder to wind down and sleep.
