I make tea and it does wonders for me. Green tea four minutes at 170 F. Peppermint 6 min at 185 F. Yerba Mate 212 F. Yes start the water to boil and turn it off with the tea in it. I add Licorice Root. That I make seperate put it in the fridge because i get more sweetness for an entire week in the fridge. I make it a gallon at a time very strong and mix it with water for ice tea or put it in the microwave if I want it hot, often mix it with Mocha Cappuccino, most every morning.
The peppermint I buy 8 oz at a time on ebay I put it in a coffee filter and staple it shut. Same with the Yerba Mate.
It has greatly improved my life. Gives me more energy and makes me think better giving me the ability to think things out i had lost. I am 65.
20 bags of Green tea
2 oz of peppermint
half a cup of yerba Mate.
One tea bag full of licorice root. Again made separate but that is about how much, very little.
The peppermint is more for flavor although it does have some health benefits.
