Fresh mint (about 10 big leaves)

Boil water in your kettle. Measure 100ml and place a package of coconut paste into it (not coconut oil, nor coconut cream, it's a paste which you should dissolve in 400ml hot water but here we will use 100ml only) and with a spoon break it apart till it's s liquid.
