English Tea Store Loose Leaf, Peppermint Caffeine Free Herbal Tea Pouches, 2 Ounce

Description

Our peppermint comes from the northwestern united states. Peppermint is a herb and contains no caffeine. Quite often peppermint is consumed after meals as the oils stimulate the flow of bile to the stomach and helps relieve gas pains. Additionally, it has been reported and written that peppermint sweetens the breath and calms the digestive system, plus it helps heartburn, stomach ache and nausea. An interesting and tingling way to use peppermint is to place a handful of peppermint leaves in your bath water which will lower your body temperature - perfect for cooling fevered skin or after working on a hot summer's day. The 2 ounce fills the same size package as the 4ounce of our other tea, as this is a very light product. Peppermint is used extensively is various recipes. One our favorites for 2 people is: banana mint slush. 1 ripe banana, 1 teaspoon of peppermint leaves, grated peel of 1 lime, 1 cup of skim milk, 5 ice cubes. Place the banana in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until slushy. Serve immediately. (less than 100 calories)
