| Yerba Buena ~ Peppermint Tea ~ pronounced ( yehr-va when-ah ) Growing up in California we had this tea for as long as I can remember. Great on those cold days (and nights). I don't know of any real medicinal properties, but when I was young, Mom would always prepare this tea for an upset stomach (worked for me). In Stockton, California the peppermint grew wild, normally around the water faucet. 2-5 fresh peppermint leaves per cup of water (the more leaves, the stronger it will be) Put the mint leaves into a large teapot. Pour on boiling water; allow to steep 5 minutes. Remove mint leaves steep for an additional 3 minutes. I enjoy it with a teaspoon of sugar. This tea will definitely warm you up, and keep you warm. Enjoy! |
