Then, to use the leaves to make tea, you can use a tea strainer or a tea ball. Let the tea steep for a couple of minutes. Again, this will depend on how weak or strong of a taste that you like for your tea to have. Remove the tea ball or tea strainer from the cup of water and your tea is ready to drink if you like it plain. Or, you may choose to add sugar, an artificial sweetener, milk, cream, or the juice from a fresh lemon to the cup of tea.
Honey is another sweetener that is good to use in tea.
It's natural goodness adds a sweetness that tastes smooth and delicious. How you drink your tea is, of course, completely up to you. Be sure to store the leftover tea leaves in an airtight container so it will stay fresh cup after cup. You can make an entire pot of tea by bringing a pot full of water to a boil. Be sure to start out with cool water for a better pot.
