Spearmint tea is an herbal tea made from spearmint leaves, which can be grown or purchased. It is caffeine-free and can be consumed hot or cold, and is known for its digestive benefits and potential use as a natural treatment for hirsutism and hair loss.
Spearmint tea is an herbal tea made with spearmint, a member of the mint family that has been cultivated for culinary uses for centuries. In addition to being the key ingredient in spearmint tea, spearmint is also used in July, and the oils extracted from this plant are often used to flavor various foods and products such as toothpaste. Many shops carry spearmint leaves for the purpose of making herbal tea, and people can also grow and harvest their own.
Technically, spearmint tea isn’t a tea at all, because it lacks the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. It is more properly an herbal tea, a distillation of leaves, flowers, twigs, roots or bark from sources other than the tea plant. One of the key distinctions between a tea and an herbal tea is that herbal teas lack caffeine. However, teas and herbal teas are prepared the same way, and many people use the term “tea” to describe herbal tea.
People traditionally use dried spearmint leaves to make spearmint tea. The dried leaves are either immersed in hot water for 5-10 minutes or slowly heated over a fire in a pan filled with water which is brought close to the boiling point without actually being boiled. In both cases, the drink can be made according to the taste of the person who will drink it. Some people like very strong herbal teas, while others like a milder, milder flavor.
This herbal tea can be consumed hot or cold. Spearmint tea is often described as refreshing and purifying in nature, and is consumed in the classically simple way, with no added sweeteners or other ingredients. People may drink it purely for the flavor, but it’s also consumed as a digestive aid. Spearmint tea can reduce flatulence, belching, intestinal discomfort, heartburn, and nausea, and people who drink it regularly may find that their overall digestion is easier. The tea also appears to block the action of androgens in the body, which may make it a natural treatment for hirsutism in women and hair loss in men.
In addition to dried leaves, cooks can also use dehydrated leaves, along with fresh and frozen leaves. In the case of dried and dehydrated spearmint, the leaves should be stored in a cool, dry place out of sunlight and should be used within six months to get the most out of the flavor. Frozen leaves can last up to a year, while fresh leaves should ideally be used as soon as they are harvested.
