Marvelous Fresh Mint And Honey Tea!

I have a treat for you guys; a great recipe for marvelous mint tea!

Since I have been having terrible allergies lately, I decided to research that what natural herb would relieve allergy and asthma symptoms. Turns out that mint can do that, plus a whole lot more.

Did you know that...

-Mint has many anti-fungal properties that help to treat asthma and allergy symptoms along with other inflammations?

-Mint has an ability to soothe the digestive tract and relieve stomach ache?

-Mint can help to fight against colon, skin and lung cancer?

-Mint is a natural breathe freshener, and it takes care of oral health by holding back harmful bacterial growth inside your mouth?

-Mint can relieve stress and help against headaches?


Riittalicious Fresh Mint and Honey Tea
- 2-3 stems of fresh mint
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 cup hot water (not quite boiling)

Put mint and honey in a tall glass, mug or a tea pot. Bring water to almost boiling. Pour water in the glass/pot over mint and honey. Cover the glass/pot while the tea is steeping to prevent valuable properties of mint to evaporate. Let the tea steep for 5-8 minutes. Enjoy!

Fresh mint I found from our local store.

I also bought a new bottle of honey. Everybody knows that honey is super good for you as well!

Put the mint and honey in a glass.

Pour the hot water over the mint and honey.

At this point you should cover the tea and let it steep but I actually was breathing in all the lovely steam that was coming out of my glass. I could feel the mint oils opening up my congested nose and throat.

After about 8 minutes the water had turned into this pretty shade of light green.

Ready for a soothing glass of mint and honey tea.

Fresh mint and honey tea is as good as mojitos! Plus it is more suitable for any time during your day, unlike mojitos (*wink*).

This tea really made me feel so much better. It opened up my nose, throat and lungs. You should give it a try too! It is super easy to make. Plus you can add a slice if lemon or grated ginger if you want an extra twist of flavor.

With happy tea thoughs,
