The ancient Greeks also soon realized that the tender, bittersweet leaves of dandelion not only taste extraordinarily good, but also contain valuable bitter compounds and active ingredients. Lemongrass This spice and aromatic medicinal plant is also known in Southeast Asia as "fever grass." It contains essential oils and has an intense and fresh citrus flavor. To date, it is unknown where this grass family plant used mainly in Asian cuisine originates from. Lemon peel The peel of the lemon tree fruit, which comes from India, is as aromatic as its refreshing and acidic pulp. However, the peel contains up to ten times more vitamins than the juice, as well as beneficial essential oils and phytonutrients. Ginger Ginger has been used in the Far East for over 3,000 years as a spice and medicinal plant. It has a spicy and fruity taste and contains, in addition to various vitamins, essential oils and valuable minerals. Cinnamon Cinnamon is one of the most expensive spices in the world and must have been used in China as early as 3,000 BC as a spice and medicinal plant. Cinnamon is obtained from the bark of the cinnamon tree from South Asia, it has an aromatic sweet flavor and contains numerous tannins and beneficial essential oils. Licorice Known since ancient times as sweet root, licorice is one of the 50 basic herbs of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is about 50 times sweeter than sugar and has a gently sweet and slightly sour and bitter taste. Thanks to its valuable nutrients, licorice was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year in 2012. Lemon myrtle Lemon myrtle almost exclusively grows in the Australian state of Queensland. The aborigines soon discovered its importance as a medicinal plant and collected the intensely fragrant leaves to prepare tea and oil. Lemon myrtle has an intense citrus flavor and contains valuable essential oils. Peppermint First discovered in 1696 and probably the result of the accidental crossing of Mentha aquatica and Mentha spicata, it is now one of the most important medicinal plants in the world. Peppermint has a slightly spicy flavor and is popular worldwide for its refreshing aroma and valuable components. In 2004, it was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year. Preparation Pour 250 ml of freshly boiled water over the tea bag. Let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes - or longer for a more intense flavor.
