Herbal Tea Benefits
Herbal teas are made from the leaves, roots, flowers, seeds and bark of a variety of different plants. Making a cup of herbal tea is a great way to relieve common ailments like headaches and upset stomachs. You can make a cup of ginger root to treat an upset stomach or a cup of lavender to calm frazzled nerves after a long day at work. Rosemary blends are said to relieve headaches while chamomile relieves cramps, insomnia and anxiety.
Many herbal brews are made from rose, chrysanthemum and jasmine flowers. Some black and green teas are scented with rose flowers to improve their aromas and neutralize their bitter or leafy tastes. These blends feature less caffeine than coffee, and they contain potent antioxidants that fight cancer, prevent strokes and boost the immune system. You can store most blends anywhere from six to 12 months.
A Guide to Making Herbal Tea in Five Minutes
Making herbal tea is easy. Just do the following simple steps:
- Select a flavor. Pick one that treats your symptoms, such as Echinacea for cold prevention or lavender for relaxation.
- Scoop one tablespoon of tea for every three ounces of water, and put it into an infuser.
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Let the brew steep for three to four minutes. Follow the steeping time closely, or you may get a weak or bitter-tasting brew.
