Description
The aerial part of this herb is used medicinally. Spearmint has properties similar to peppermint. It's been used for treating stomach upsets, nausea, heartburn, and mild indigestion. Spearmint is milder than peppermint and is sometimes preferred over peppermint for children. Spearmint is also a popular flavoring agent.
Spearmint is used to settle a stomach where there is vomiting and nausea and it is helpful for morning sickness during pregnancy. It has a calming and soothing effect on the stomach and will help to eliminate gas.
There is no toxicity in Spearmint so it is an excellent herb to use for even the sickest person.

Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
