Peppermint tea is naturally sweet and free of caffeine. It may be linked to health benefits, including improving digestion, boosting focus, and relieving migraine.
Native to Europe and Asia, it has been used for centuries for its pleasant, minty taste and health benefits.
Peppermint is used as a flavouring in breath mints, candies, and other foods. Additionally, many people consume it as a refreshing, caffeine-free tea.
Peppermint leaves contain several essential oils including menthol, menthone, and limonene. Menthol gives peppermint its cooling properties and recognizably minty scent.
While peppermint tea is often drunk for its taste and flavour, it may also have several health benefits, such as helping relieve digestive issues, relieve headaches, freshen breath, relieve clogged sinuses, improve energy, relieve menstrual cramps, improve sleep, improve seasonal allergies, etc.
Direction:
- Boil about 3 or 4 cups of water.
- Add the peppermint leaves and shut the heat off.
- Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes.
