How long should you steep peppermint tea I steeped it about 4 minutes it smells like peppermint but tastes mostly like hot water How long should it be steeped?

Dried mint should have a more intense flavour than fresh. Steeping dried mint 4 minutes should result in a good flavour, if it does not the mint is old and should be replaced. Fresh mint leaves should be steeped approximately 6-7 minutes and remember to use much more mint. (4 times as much fresh to dried)
