Mint Infused Ice Cubes

Boil 4 cups of water and add 2 packed cups of fresh mint leaves and steep until cool. Strain out the leaves. Place 2 to 3 small leaves into each ice cube hole on the tray and fill with the cooled mint infused water. Place into freezer and when the cubes are ready add them to your glass of water or iced tea.

Its a great way to use up your mint leaves (my mint plant went all spazzoid-growy on me) and an easy way to add a wonderful mint taste to favorite drinks. It even works to soothe an upset tummy!

4 cups will fill 3 ice cube trays - just reduce water amount for fewer trays.If you don't have an abundance of mint leaves like I do, you can reuse the mint leaves from the steeped water. Its just that those leaves aren't quite as pretty after being steeped. They tend to turn a dark green or brownish color which doesn't look quite as nice in the ice cube but will still work!
