Mentha × piperita · Dried Leaves · Refreshing Herbal Tea & Pantry
Fresh, cooling and wonderfully aromatic, dried Peppermint Leaves are a classic ingredient for herbal teas, refreshing iced drinks and fragrant botanical preparations.
Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is an aromatic member of the mint family, valued for its distinctively menthol-rich scent and naturally cooling flavour. Its leaves have been used for generations in European and other herbal traditions.
Our dried Peppermint Leaves offer a bold, clean mint character that pairs beautifully with Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Fennel and other complementary herbs.
At Flowers from my Meadow, we keep it pure and uncomplicated: dried Peppermint Leaves, carefully packed for your home botanical pantry.
How to Prepare
For peppermint tea: Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Peppermint Leaves to 250ml freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Serve warm or allow to cool for a refreshing iced infusion.
For a botanical bath: Place dried leaves in a muslin pouch to infuse gently in warm bathwater. Avoid direct use on irritated skin and patch test if sensitive.
Precautions
Peppermint may aggravate heartburn or reflux in some people. Avoid use if allergic to mint-family plants. For pregnancy, breastfeeding, young children or use alongside medication, seek appropriate healthcare guidance before concentrated herbal preparations. Discontinue use if sensitivity occurs.
