Talk:Peppermint tea

Acquisition and preparation
I removed this section since encyclopedias are not instruction manuals.


 * One can grow peppermint or buy the leaves in markets. Peppermint tea (or herbal infusion) bags can be purchased in health food shops or from most supermarkets.


 * To prepare an infusion of straight peppermint, pour very hot (but not boiling) water over one or two teaspoons of dried peppermint leaves in a cup. The cup should be covered for about 10 minutes, and then the leaves should be strained out.


 * One can also use commercially prepared tea bags that contain either mixture of tea and peppermint or peppermint alone. To prepare peppermint tea in this manner, simply place a peppermint tea bag into a cup and pour hot water over it. Usually allow 4-5 minutes for the full flavor to come out. It is not recommended that you add milk, even though this is common with other teas. Sugar may be added, depending on personal preference.

I don't know how to rewrite this (or extract key facts from it) in an encyclopedic style. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I want to be certain that my editing of this entry doesn't look like a criticism that might eventually lend itself to a deletion of the article itself. In my experience, people look up teas and oils because they want to know what certain teas and oils will do to their bowels - actually, I've never known another reason why someone might look up particular teas and oils, except for coughs and so forth. Very important information, under certain conditions!

We really have no idea at all what peppermint tea DOES. But it's pretty clear that it doesn't hurt anything, and peppermint OIL does do something for some people. So by association. ..

It is just too bad we don't have a sort of common "index for laxatives" or something; the whole issue would be settled much more easily and comfortably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IngaRea (talk • contribs) 05:36, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Should this page be merged with Touareg Tea? What's the difference between peppermint and Touareg? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.169.3.4 (talk) 11:00, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No it should not be merged. The two are very different apart from the common ingredient of peppermint. It would be like merging the articles for lemonade and mead because they both contain sugar. 92.24.178.184 (talk) 09:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC) Perparmind tea is a well known tea
