Peppermint tea is quite possibly the most well-known and
most popular tea after green tea. I remember when I was
a teenager and had bad menstrual cramps, my grandma
would brew me a cup of peppermint tea. Peppermint is also
good for teething babies and an upset stomach. Peppermint
is often taken after meals to ease digestion from overeating.
Peppermint can also help with relaxation. Peppermint
tea is another favorite around the holidays. Sometimes it is
mixed with chocolate or ginger.
We are all familiar with the after-dinner mints. Peppermint
is very good for aiding digestion. Men should not drink
more than 1-2 cups a day of peppermint tea as it can affect
male fertility and may cause problems for couples trying to
conceive.

For an iced version of this tea, simply add ice cubes to the
