The tea soothes stomach discomfort.
Melissa Peppermint Tea
Finely chop the herbs and in a small pot, boil with about 250 ml (approximately 1 cup) of water. Remove from the heat and let stand until flavorful, about 3 minutes. Strain through a sieve and sweeten with honey, if desired.
This tea helps with insomnia and nervousness, even in infants.
