It is about 50 times sweeter than sugar and has a mildly sweet and slightly sour and bitter taste. Thanks to its valuable nutrients, licorice was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year in 2012. Cocoa peel: The peel of the cocoa seed has a mild and sweet aroma similar to the seed itself, although it contains far fewer calories. Peppermint: Peppermint is one of the most popular varieties of mint, making it essential in a kitchen or garden that wants to stand out. The plant belongs to the lamiales family and grows up to a height of 1.5 meters. It has a refreshing and fruity flavor, extremely aromatic. Fennel: Fennel is one of the oldest known medicinal plants in the world. It belongs to the umbelliferae family and has been popular internationally for thousands of years for its intense aroma. Fennel has a slightly spicy and sweet flavor that is reminiscent of anise. Anise: This annual plant, whose sweet-tasting fruit has been revered by man for thousands of years, blooms in Asia and the southeastern Mediterranean. Anise was once offered to the gods, and today it is found in cooking, Christmas sweets, and as a delicious spice in many YOGI TEA® teas. 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 flavor and contains various vitamins, essential oils, and valuable minerals. 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. Nettle: Everyone knows the unpleasant consequences of physical contact with nettles, but only a few know the beneficial components for which this plant, which is acidic and spicy, was appreciated in antiquity: provitamin A, iron, and a variety of mineral salts make nettle an important commercial crop. The famous painter Albrecht Dürer considered it a "gift from God." 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 in South Asia, has an aromatic sweet flavor, and contains numerous tannins and beneficial essential oils. Chili: Chilies are annual solanaceaes that mainly bloom in sunny countries like Mexico, India, Thailand, or Tanzania. Its natural spicy flavor and valuable components make it an internationally important spice and medicinal plant. Cardamom: Cardamom has been one of the most popular spices in the Asian and Arab world for thousands of years. Its delicate aroma between spicy and sweet makes cardamom suitable for use in numerous dishes, from spicy curry to spiced Christmas sweets. Thanks to its essential oils and other important nutrients, cardamom is also one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world. Clove: Cloves are the buttons of the clove tree and are known in our latitudes mainly as a spice in dishes like gingerbread or red cabbage. They belong to the myrtaceae family and have an intense spicy aroma, thanks to which they were even paid for with gold in ancient China and Egypt. 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. Preparation: Pour 250 ml of freshly boiled water over the tea bag.
