8 Herbs That You Can Use to Make Tea
PinShare on FacebookTweet

Try using these amazing herbs for refreshing teas, served hot or iced. These herbs offer outstanding health benefits and loads of flavor. Use fresh leaves for best flavor and nutrients.

Peppermint Tea 

Many people enjoy drinking this herbal tea not only because it tastes absolutely delicious but because it has a large variety of health benefits for the human body. Peppermint tea has only about one calorie per cup. It is extremely easy to grow. The plant is very vigorous and likes to spread very quickly. When the stems are growing, keep cutting the top off the plant. After a couple of days with regular watering, you’ll notice that it will get bushier as new stems and buds develop. Grow as many leaves as possible, instead of a single stalk. Make Peppermint tea by grabbing a handful of fresh or dried peppermint leaves. Wash the leaves well. Slice them roughly with a sharp knife to bring out the essential oils within the leaves. Now simply add them to a cup of boiling water and let them infuse for about two minutes. You can then drink this tea immediately or strain it to remove the leaves. You can also make peppermint iced tea by adding large ice cubes and maybe a slice of lemon.
