Drinks of mint
Now the height of summer and these drinks are just. Offer two versions of the drink made from mint. I must say that we liked the first option although the second is also delicious, but it's more for lovers of spices (cinnamon, cloves). These drinks can be prepared throughout the year (summer fresh mint and lemon balm, and dried in winter).

Cooking

step-0
[color=green]DRINK "TONE"[/color] water - 2 litres mint - 1 pooch. lemon - 1 piece sugar - to taste First thing lemon good wash and pour over boiling water. Cut into pieces (arbitrarily). Now sliced lemon put in the pot + water + sugar and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, put the chopped mint (of course, it pre-wash) and bring again to a boil. And leave a little steep but at the same time cool (and sometimes hot uncomfortable press). Although you can insist for longer, like all night.
step-1
Here constantly, cold. Now filtered. You can just through a colander. And slightly squeeze the contents of the colander (I squeezed his hands) Pour into the jar (or pitcher) and put in the refrigerator to cooled.
step-2
Everything is ready to drink. Can be drunk with pleasure. If no fresh mint, then you can take dried (about 1 liter of water a couple tablespoons. Although it is possible to deviate in one direction or another).
step-3
[color=green]"MINT MIX"[/color] mint - 1 pooch. (or 1 tbsp) lemon balm - 1 Puig. (or 1 tablespoon) water - 1 tbsp honey - to taste ground cinnamon - to taste cloves -to taste Here I used mint and lemon balm dry (took 1 tablespoon each of grass on 1 l of water). Why dry? Yes, that's because my friend gave me fresh mint was used on the first drink). We take our mixture and pour boiling water, infuse. But that is not completely cooled, we still need to dissolve the honey (if mint and lemon balm fresh, they chop and just pour boiling water). When has rested, strain through a colander with marlechkoy and squeeze.
step-4
Then everything is added to taste the honey, cinnamon and cloves (the spices I added at the tip of a knife). Mix well and all, our second drink is ready. It also chilled drink.
