Spearmint is peppermint's softer sister — sweet, mild, and naturally gentler in flavor, the mint traditionally poured for children and elders alike. Long valued in home practice as a pleasant digestive, it is traditionally reached for when little stomachs are upset, when mild nausea or hiccups come on, and when the day calls for a calming everyday cup without peppermint's stronger menthol bite. It has flavored family tables for generations.

Everyday uses:
• Sweet, mild tea, hot or iced
• Gentle cup traditionally given for children's upset stomachs
• After-meal cup for mild gas and fullness
• Blended with chamomile or lemon balm for evening tea
• A fragrant addition to bath water

How to use: Steep 1 tablespoon in a cup of hot water, covered, 5–10 minutes, and strain. Spearmint is naturally sweet on its own and often needs no honey at all.
