Does your stomach bother you? Mint tea helps, but only if you cook it this way
|In addition to a restless stomach, mint also helps with headaches, but also bone pain.
Mint, along with chamomile, is probably the most widely used medicinal plant. Almost every house has a box with bags of mint tea.
However, when the plant is very finely chopped, it loses its healing properties. That is why it is best to pick mint yourself, dry it and store it for the rest of the year, because it is really healthy and precious.
A full tablespoon
To make good tea, you need a tablespoon of dried plant leaves and two decilitres of water. For plants that contain essential oils, such as mint, it is important that you never cook them, just pour boiling water over them. If you use fresh herbs, the procedure is the same, just double the dose of mint.
Lastly, it is important to cover the tea and let it stand for at least 10, ideally 20 minutes. After that, you got not only a delicious but also a healing drink.
