Is there a recipe for mint flavored water such as is sold as Metromint?

Answer 1

There are probably some out there, but you can just soak mint leaves (Such as you can find in a grocery store or in a garden/nursery) in the water for a while, until its about the right taste for you. The process is about the same as it would be for making tea. You could try putting lemon juice in it as well, it's delightful.

I found the following recipe:

ingredients

• 4 lemons, sliced
• 1-1/2 cups firmly packed fresh mint or basil leaves
• 6 to 8 cups bottled water or tap water
• 6 to 8 cups ice cubes
• Fresh mint or basil sprigs

directions

1. Place lemon slices in a large pitcher. Carefully rub the 1-1/2 cups mint leaves between the palms of your hands to slightly bruise the leaves. Add to the pitcher with lemon. Pour in water. Cover and chill for 1 to 8 hours.
2. Strain lemon-water mixture. Discard herbs. Divide lemon slices and additional fresh mint or basil sprigs equally among 6 to 8 tall glasses or pint-sized canning jars. For each serving, add 1 cup of ice cubes; fill with the lemon water. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
