Peppermint as in.... Patty?

God's gift to people who have to go through the Winter season every year.... Mint Tea! Peppermint to be exact. I have to say, I'm amazed at how many people I've met who had never heard of drinking mint tea to cure sore throats, sniffly noses, upset stomachs and... bad breathe? Yes you, sir, mint tea would indeed be a good investment... for all our sakes... phew!
Seriously though, after having several of my friends complaining about being miserable suffering from this cold they've had all week and telling them about this amazing herb, you'd think i was a God. hmm maybe... well ha! never mind, i won't go there ;)
not only is it good for the common cold, but it's also known to relieve stress, treat headaches, diarrhea, nausea, menstrual cramps and many other things as well. Not to sound like a health freak, but i keep some on hand at all times.
It's available at any grocery store or health food store, and it is recommended to use honey as a tea sweetener instead of sugar.
A little off topic, maybe, but i thought i should share incase anyone wanted to know.
Spot'o tea anyone?
