Digestive-Aid Peppermint and Chamomile Tea
This digestive-aid tea is a soothing and flavorful blend of peppermint, chamomile, ginger, fennel, and cardamom. It's perfect for sipping after a meal to help with digestion and relieve gas and bloating. The peppermint and chamomile are both known for their calming effects, while the ginger, fennel, and cardamom help to stimulate digestion and reduce inflammation. This tea is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
This tea recipe has been passed down through my family for generations. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was a child, and it always helped to soothe my stomach after a big meal. I've since started making it for my own family, and it's become a favorite of ours. I love the way the peppermint and chamomile balance out the spicy ginger and fennel. It's a truly unique and delicious tea that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
