Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other
Mint tea (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) is a herbal tea made by infusing mint leaves in hot water.[1] Mint tea made with peppermint leaves is called peppermint tea, and mint tea made with spearmint is called spearmint tea. There also exist teas that infuse peppermint and spearmint leaves. In Korea, traditional mint tea called bakha-cha (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is made with East Asian wild mint leaves.[2] In India, traditional mint tea called pudina chai (पुदीना चाय) is made by steeping spearmint or peppermint in hot chai.[3][4]
Due to the high content of essential oils in leaves (1–2.5%), especially menthol, mint tea is popular for its curative effects. Affecting the digestive system and excretion of gastric juices, it is thought to act as an anti-inflammatory.[5]
