Adding mint and pacifier

Add the pacifier and mint leaves in the teapot, turn off the heat and cover it. I recommend you to dip the mint leaves in the bottom of the teapot. It should not be cooked , we seek to maintain the aromas not to loose it.

Now mix everything without using a spoon. There is a very simple way of pouring tea into a glass and then pouring it back into the teapot. Repeat the process several times to oxygenate the tea and give it the chance to develop its fragrance.
