Tonight I am drinking a caffeine free tea purely for the benefit of my stomach, peppermint tea. A lot of people don’t realize this, but a strong cup of peppermint tea, as long as it is high in peppermint oils, is excellent for certain gastrointestinal problems. Tastes pretty potent though, not one I drink for the taste. You have to brew it really strong to benefit your stomach.

I brewed this once in a 14oz mug with 5 tsp leaf and boiling water for 8 min.

Flavors: Peppermint

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 5 tsp 14 OZ / 414 ML

I enjoy peppermint tea in the morning sometimes when I think I’ve already had too much caffeine. It’s also a good tea to enjoy in restaurants since they can’t mess it up.

While I agree that a restaurant probably wouldn’t mess this up I don’t agree that it can’t be messed up. Simply because I always mess it up intentionally. I brew it roughly twice as strong as you would if drinking this for taste. It comes out bitter and somewhat unpleasant but it works.

Ubacat

That’s good it works for you. I’ve never brewed it quite that long. I didn’t know it got bitter.

gmathis

Yup. We use peppermint medicinally for a number of diseases and discomforts.

AllanK

Not horribly bitter but a little, of course I also use twice the recommended amount of leaf.

Bio

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
