Lemon Mint Tea provides so many health benefits:

  1. Both the lemon and mint aid digestion and relieve bloating.
  2. The water and citric acid in the lemon juice help prevent kidney stones.
  3. The vitamin C in the lemon juice helps create collagen for glowing skin.
  4. Vitamin C is immune system boosting which helps ward off colds and the flu.

The soothing qualities are equally important. The scent alone of lemon and mint can stimulate your senses and improve your mood and help reduce stress.

Consider starting a Lemon Mint Tea ritual on a weekly basis. Perhaps after yoga, or a spa visit. If you’re already a master of taking time out for yourself, just add tea and enjoy.
