It has a taste between spicy and fruity and contains, in addition to various vitamins, essential oils and valuable minerals. 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, in addition to beneficial essential oils and phytonutrients. 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 taste and is popular worldwide for its refreshing aroma and valuable components. In 2004, it was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year. Licorice Licorice, also known as sweetwood, has been known since ancient times as a medicinal plant and 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 taste with a hint of sour and bitter. Thanks to its valuable nutrients, licorice was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year in 2012. Lemongrass In Southeast Asia, this aromatic spice and medicinal plant is also known as "fever grass." It contains essential oils and has an intense and fresh citrus flavor. To date, it is unknown where this grass plant, used mainly in Asian cuisine, originally comes from. Black Pepper Black pepper, also known as the "queen of spices," is currently, along with salt, the most important spice in the world. It originally comes from the Malabar coast in India and has an intense spicy flavor with varying degrees of spiciness. Ayurvedic medicine recommends black pepper not only as a seasoning but also, due to its valuable substances, as a medicinal plant. Hibiscus Marshmallow, also known as hibiscus, was already used in Greece thousands of years ago as a medicinal plant; hence its Greek name, Althaea, which translates as "I heal." Hibiscus is a perennial plant that blooms from June to August and produces sweet fruits in capsule form. Dried Lemon Juice Lemon, originally from India, has been native to Europe since the 13th century. It is among the fruits with the highest content of vitamin C, as well as possessing valuable essential oils, phosphorus, and magnesium. Its juice has a taste between fruity and acidic, and slightly bitter. 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.
