Herbal tea is a type of tea that is made from herbs and botanicals, rather than tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant that is used to make traditional tea. Herbal teas are also sometimes referred to as tisanes or herbal infusions.
There are many different types of herbal tea, and they can be made from a wide variety of herbs, spices, fruits, and flowers. Some popular herbal tea ingredients include chamomile, peppermint, ginger, lavender, hibiscus, rooibos, and lemon balm.
Herbal teas are often consumed for their potential health benefits. For example, chamomile tea is commonly consumed for its potential calming and relaxation properties, while ginger tea is often consumed to soothe digestive issues. Hibiscus tea is known for its potential to reduce blood pressure, and green rooibos tea is high in antioxidants and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
