Spearmint tea is a caffeine-free drink that can serve as a digestive aid and antioxidant source.* This herb has been used in several applications, including culinary, beauty, and medicinal. Records document the Romans brewing the herb's leaves into a tea, and the Greeks appreciated its medicinal properties. If you find peppermint a bit strong, give spearmint tea a try. It has less menthol content, thus making it a milder mint tea.
