Herbs : Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea is a nice change from the fruity/flowery herbal teas that are so frequently available. The most common and well known health benefit from peppermint tea is to sooth an upset stomach. It's the menthol in the peppermint leaves that does this. The zippy flavour makes this a great tea to have as a pick-me-up.

Records from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt show peppermint used for medicinal purposes.

To make tea with loose peppermint, just add a teaspoon to a cup of hot water. Peppermint tea is easily found in tea bag form too. This is an easy herb to grow at home, either in a garden or on a windowsill. Fresh leaves are even better than dried.
