Jasmine mint green tea is a combination of two herbs known for their many health benefits: jasmine green tea and mint.

Combining the two creates a drink that is not only delicious but also has many beneficial effects, especially on hot summer days.

Jasmine green tea offers an elegant flavor and is rich in antioxidants, while mint helps soothe stress, improve digestion, and boost respiration.

In addition, regular consumption of jasmine mint green tea provides powerful antioxidant benefits thanks to its catechins. This nutrient also helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes.

For digestive issues, the mint in jasmine green tea stimulates digestion, reduces bloating and indigestion in the stomach. This enhances metabolism, soothes, and alleviates uncomfortable symptoms.

However, it's important to note that preparing jasmine green tea correctly is crucial to maximizing its benefits. The ingredients will require 10g of jasmine green tea leaves (or a tea bag), 5-7 fresh mint leaves (or 5g of dried mint leaves), 500ml of filtered water, 5-10ml of honey, and a slice of fresh lemon.

Once all the ingredients are prepared, boil 500ml of water, then let it cool to about 80-85°C. This temperature is ideal for brewing jasmine green tea without losing its nutrients and natural flavor.

Place the jasmine green tea leaves in a teapot or teacup. Pour hot water (80-85°C) into the teapot and steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Note that you shouldn't steep it for too long to avoid making the tea bitter.

While the tea is brewing, rinse some fresh mint leaves and add them to the teapot. Let it steep for another 1-2 minutes to allow the mint to infuse into the tea, creating a refreshing flavor. Then, strain out the tea leaves and mint, and pour the tea into a cup to enjoy.

If you prefer it a little sweeter, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of honey and stir well. You can also add a slice of fresh lemon if you want to enhance the flavor and add vitamin C.
