Oh, it is another chilly day outside. I think that it would be best to keep ourselves comfortably warm and dry. While we stay indoors and seek refuge from this blistering weather, we should prepare ourselves a hot soothing mug of tea. Peppermint tea is a great choice. The refreshing, sweet taste of peppermint and the relaxing aroma that it gives off. That is why Peppermint tea is today's drink of choice.

  2. Yes, peppermint tea is a personal favorite of mine. Have you ever tried it with actual tea leaves? Usually I but the store bought brand, however I recently planted a peppermint plant in my back yard, and now it brings my entire family peppermint leaves!
