Ginger and Mint tea

Finally, the very hot weather has packed up overnight and left Melbourne...well for a few days anyway...we don't have air conditioning, so for the past week we have had our place locked up to keep cool...we are enjoying having all the windows and doors open this morning. Currently we are being entertained by a family of birds on our balcony eating seed we leave out for them every couple of days. They seem to be embracing the cooler weather too. What are you drinking this morning? We have just made some ginger and mint tea. The mint we picked from our herb garden. It's such a refreshing natural way to start the day! We thought we would share with you our very easy recipe.
