What is peppermint tea?

Peppermint tea is made by infusing peppermint leaves in hot water. You can also make spearmint tea using spearmint leaves.

Peppermint leaves contain several essential oils that are released when steeped in hot water, including menthol, menthone and limonene. Collectively, these give peppermint tea its refreshing, cooling, minty taste.

Peppermint tea can be made using fresh leaves, dried loose leaves, or teabags. In teabags, peppermint may be mixed with other flavours, such as liquorice or fruit. It’s naturally caffeine-free, so you can drink it as often as you like.
