Soothing minty herbal tea
As a tea, Spearmint is uber-refreshing, both hot and iced. It’s less in-your-face minty like Peppermint, which has a remarkably bracing menthol flavor and aroma. Spearmint is more sweet, rounded, and chill, and actually promotes a feeling of calm. Like other mints, it it soothing for an upset tummy, and just helps a person feel good all over.
Caffeine levels: none
Tasting notes: fresh cool mint; milder and less menthol than Peppermint
Brewing instructions:
Steep 1 – 3 teaspoons in 8 oz hot water for 1 – 5 minutes. Adjust amounts and steeping times to personal preference. Iced tea? Sure. Do it.
