Fragrant Mint Tea with Sea Buckthorn and Orange

Start by gathering all of your ingredients. You will need black tea, fresh mint, orange, frozen sea buckthorn, and strawberries. Ensure that your mint is fresh for the best flavor.

Measure out 2 teaspoons of black tea and set it aside. You can use loose leaf or tea bags based on your preference.

Boil water in a kettle until it reaches a rolling boil. Once the water is ready, pour it over the black tea in a teapot or heatproof container.

Add the fresh mint sprigs and the peel of the orange for an added burst of flavor. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes.

While the tea is brewing, prepare your fruits. If you are using frozen sea buckthorn and strawberries, simply set them aside. If you have fresh strawberries, slice them into quarters.

Once the tea has steeped, strain it into cups or a serving pitcher. You can choose to keep the mint in for added aroma or remove it.

Taste your tea before adding any sweetener. Add rock sugar or honey to your liking. Stir gently until the sweetener is dissolved.

Finally, add the frozen sea buckthorn and strawberries to the tea. If desired, garnish with a fresh mint sprig or a slice of orange for visual appeal. Enjoy your fragrant tea warm or chilled!
