I thought this recipe was REALLY refreshing!! I just used really hot water and 3 mint leaves, waited 5 minutes and then picked them out. Great start to a day and lower in calories than most brewed coffees (with milk and sugar, anyway)!! I will be making this VERY often. I'm drinking my second cup as I type!06/24/07
