I bought some new tea today! In keeping with the caffeine free herbals, I bought peppermint, Rose bud, and hibiscus teas to play with. I bought 3 sizable bags of organic teas for just under $9.00. I still have a little chamomile, lavender, and jasmine left (this tea lasts such a long time) so I used the last of the Jasmine tonight and crushed it up with the pestle and mortar with about a tablespoon of the new peppermint. I steeped it for about 5 minutes and am currently sipping my second cup of refreshing, soothing tea. Sadly, I'm not sure I taste the jasmine, but peppermint is such a powerful, fragrant herb that I'm not sure any other herbal would come out when mixed with it. Jasmine is such a delicate flavor, it's not much surprise that it's lost against the potent peppermint.
Peppermint, like ginger is used homeopathically to aid in digestion. It's come to my relief in the past when I've experienced heartburn and indigestion among many other stomach ailments. It also helps digestion after a big meal. This is why many restaurants serve mints on your way out, though I'm not sure the sugar helps much. It's a nice thought though :)

This looks like something I can take advantage of.
ReplyDeleteIf you can stand the ginger, try that first, it works to detoxify as well and will have more value to your system overall. It's a more powerful digestive aid, in my opinion than peppermint too.
