Have you tried a bulk food store? An herbal store? Maybe you can just buy the peppermint leaves there and brew your own. That's what Heather suggests in Eating for IBS. Another idea is .. well, while the weather's warm why not grow your own peppermint and then dry it?
Buying the leaves in bulk is very cheap to do. Then, I would find a brand of the bagged peppermint tea just to keep a couple bags in your purse for planes, restaurants, etc. Yes, it's more expensive but much more convenient than hauling your own leaves.
I know that when I make Jasmine tea with the leaves, I just throw them right into the water. When they go into the cup, they settle at the bottom. Either that or place a small strainer on the top of your cup as you pour.
Lots of people brew a huge pot in the morning then store it in the fridge. The nice thing about that is you can either heat it back up or leave it as iced tea. It will not lose its potency.
I hope that's a few suggestions that may help.
