Digestive Tea (after dinner)

Post date: Oct 16, 2017 8:16:07 PM

Recipe adapted from Herbal Teas.

This recipe contains spearmint and licorice root. Both are excellent for enhancing digestion. Spearmint is especially soothing to the stomach, which the licorice root adds a little sweetness and also contains anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients

1 parts spearmint leaves

1/8 part dried licorice root

Optional: enhance digestion (and flavor) by adding a few cloves and a sprinkle of fennel.

Method

Mix the spearmint and licorice root together. If using 3 ounces of spearmint, use 10.5 grams of licorice root. If using only 1 ounce of spearmint, use 3.5 grams of licorice root.

Store in a glass jar.

Use 1 tablespoon per cup when brewing tea.

My favorite way to brew tea: in a Glass Teapot or Infuser

Glass, a chemically inert material, does not absorb odors or chemical residues, making it an excellent choice for brewing. (-From Mighty Nest.)

Plus, glass is also aesthetically pleasing, which truly enhances the tea drinking experience (if you ask me).

So, yes, if I get to choose, I choose glass. My second choice is ceramic.
