Brewing Guide Water Temp Steep Time Tea Amount Serving Size 200°F / 93°C 5–7 minutes 1–2 tsp per 8 oz 8–12 oz Pro Tips Get the Most from Your Peppermint Tea • Use a covered mug or teapot while steeping to trap the menthol vapors they evaporate quickly and are responsible for much of the health benefit and aroma. • Before drinking, hold the cup under your nose and inhale deeply peppermint aromatherapy is as beneficial as drinking the tea itself. • For iced peppermint tea: brew double-strength, cool completely, pour over ice. Add fresh mint leaves and lemon for a stunning cold brew peppermint lemonade. • Add a spoonful of raw honey to balance peppermint's intensity and add antimicrobial properties. • For digestive support: drink one cup 20–30 minutes after a meal to settle the stomach, reduce bloating, and support digestion. • Re-steep once for a lighter, more subtle second cup perfect if the first steep is too intense.
