Advantages: Good combination, great taste

Disadvantages: none

Not long ago, I bought a box of Twinings nettle and peppermint tea. As a believer of natural therapy, I have heard of the many health benefits of nettle and peppermint.

The stinging nettle which many of us dislike especially when walking in the woods, is filled with many health benefits. It is a well known body cleanser and there are properties in nettle that can help relieve coughs and asthma, counter arthritis, fight skin problems and treat urinary infections. I have tried nettle tea on its own and it taste awful. The dark green tea give out a grassy smell and it looks unappealing. Normally, I would not add any sugar or honey in herbal tea but in this instance, I have to add a teaspoon of honey to improve the taste.

Peppermint tea on the other hand gives a pleasant menthol taste and smell. It's a tea that I would always take after a spicy meal. Peppermint tea not only aid digestion, it can also help to relieve symptoms of the common cold or flu.

Twinings have cleverly infused the awful nettle with pleasant peppermint. I am glad that I can now get the benefit of both and enjoying the taste at the same time. The tea is caffeine free and it is definitely a refreshing drink especially after a heavy meal.

There are 20 bags in a box (92p) of Twinings Nettle and Peppermint tea and it can be found in most supermarkets. To brew the tea, simply add boiling water to the bag and let it infused for 2 to 3 minutes. You can add honey to sweeten or add ice to make a cold and refreshing summer drink.

Definitely worth a try.
