Green Tea and Peppermint Toner

Green tea has a lot of antioxidants which help fight free radicals in the skin.  Peppermint is very refreshing and uplifting.  This is for all skin types.

3/4 cup of peppermint leaves, chopped or torn up into pieces
2 tea bags

I put two tea bags into a 2 cup measuring cup and poured boiling water over and filled to the top.  I broke up the peppermint leaves and put them in a heat safe glass bowl that had a lid. Pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over the leaves. If you do not cover the bowl then volatile elements will evaporate. Let it steep for 15 minutes. Strain the liquid into a jar/measuring cup.  Mix the liquids. Pour into a bottle and keep it refrigerated. Will last 7-10 days. You can freeze the extra in ice cube trays that have lids.
