Step Three

Strain the steeped tea and pour into a cup or container. Tea can be sweetened with honey, but may not be necessary since peppermint helps to overcome some of the bitterness of the herbs. Drink the tea while fresh in order to get the most therapeutic benefit; however, the tea can be stored in a mason jar in the refrigerator for a day or two.
