This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Medicine.

For this BB, you will acquire (probably purchase) fresh or dried peppermint leaf and make a hot or cold infusion/tea.

Minimum requirements:
  - Start with an identifiable sample of peppermint leaf
  - Herb must be somewhat broken up to ensure proper exposure to the water
  - Make an infusion in water
  - Make at least a cup

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
  - Identifiable image of the herb
  - Herb infused into a cup or more of water

Hello,

Another BB for PEA BB Natural Medicine:

Peppermint leaf infusion/tea for sand badge.

This is my 2nd submission for infusions/teas.
Dry & Store category - I did 4 but only 3 can count towards the 12.

Still have to do: 1 of each: vinegar infusion, salve, poultice, tincture, syrup or gummies, and oil infusion - which I already started a lavender oil infusion on Oct 21 and it will be ready Nov 21.

Here is Peppermint leaf tea:
