SPEARMINT LEAF HERBAL TEA

Spearmint is used for its aromatic oil, oil of spearmint. The compound carvone gives spearmint its distinctive smell. Spearmint also contains significant amounts of limonene, carvone, and cineol. Unlike peppermint, it contains minimal amounts of menthol and menthone and therefore the two taste very different. Spearmint is used to make the famous Moroccan mint tea when blended with Gunpowder green tea from China. Spearmint grows in the mountainous regions of Morocco and is known locally as na'na' (Arabic: ?????). Spearmint is an ingredient in several mixed drinks, such as the mojito and mint julep. It is a good digestive alternative for those who cannot tolerate peppermint. Have you tried sweetening herbal tea with natural liquorice root or Stevia leaf?
