Herbal Tea

Herbal tea is a moment of relaxation that can be adapted to each of your needs. It can help you sleep, relieve aches and pains, or help you digest. Herbal teas are a mixture of plants that are often used to soothe ailments. Other times they were made from medicinal plants. They are also easy to prepare, the herbal infusion is made at 100 degrees, so a traditional kettle is enough.

However, it is important not to let the water boil too long so as not to burn the leaves. The advantage of infusion, unlike green tea or black tea, is that it can be consumed throughout the day.
