Belly Bloat Tea
Lavender and mint are both great herbs for digestion! A cup of this tea will feel so good on a bloated or gassy tummy. But remember - you can't out-herb a bad diet! But even if you made some poor food choices, you'll find a bit of relief with a cup of belly bloat tea!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp lavender
- 1 tsp peppermint
- 8 oz water
Instructions
- Bring your water to a boil in a tea kettle or pot.
- Add dried herbs to your cup, french press or tea ball/tea infuser of choice. If using fresh herbs, aim for 1-2 tablespoons of each herb.
- Pour hot water over the herbs.
- Let herbs steep in hot water for at least 10 minutes. The longer the herbs steep, the more potent your tea will be. Some herbs develop a bitter taste after sitting for too long. You may need to do some experimenting to find the steeping time that works best for you.
- Strain the herbs out of your tea.
- When the tea is a comfortable drinking temperature, add a spoonful of raw honey or a sweetener of your choice. Don't add the honey to piping hot tea, as that will destroy many of the beneficial properties that you can get from the honey.
- Drink up!
