Grow Your Own Tea - Rose, Hibiscus, Mint and Lemon Leaves Teas Benefits

 I always knew herbal teas beneficial for our health but I just did an additional online search for different kind of tea we use in our everyday life. We try to use our own organic grown tea leaves from different plants we have in our garden. We mostly drink cold tea through the day and fresh hot tea in the evening.

In short rose tea is a great source of Vitamin C as well as it helps with removing toxins, it can help with women health as well.


Hibiscus Tea



Let's move to Hibiscus. It's a little trickier to pick up hibiscus flowers because I always wait till they finish bloom and then pick them up.

Wise Geek wrote about hibiscus benefits for immune and digestive system as well as antioxidant and heart health.


Mint Tea

Mint is another ingredient of our daily tea and super easy to grow. This tea is great for different stomach issues, headache and sinus and much more.

One lady told me she is making a tea out of lemon leaves, so I wanted to explore this option since I never tried it before.
