Why people make this tea
Mint has a real place in tradition: it’s associated with dispersing wind-heat, clearing the head and eyes, soothing the liver, moving qi, lifting the appetite and easing itch. Simmered with a little ginger and scallion it’s used at the first sign of a cold to release the exterior and ease dizziness or headache. This simple brew pairs fresh mint with lemon — a bright, refreshing cup that helps digestion, clears the head, and freshens the breath. Fresh mint is available at Chinese or Asian grocers, or online.
