It is impossible to imagine anything more relaxing than a cup of hot and aromatic tea drunk after a hard day at work.
You can make the drink even tastier by adding leaves or flowers of certain plants to it.
Melissa or mint
These plants are probably the most common. Many people think that these herbs are absolutely the same, but this is not true - mint added to tea refreshes and cools, and lemon balm has a lemon flavor.
Creeping thyme
Thyme is called the "cultivated brother of savory," which has the same rich aroma. The very top of the flowers is suitable for tea; it should be picked before the stem becomes woody.
Hyssop officinalis
Hyssop can be confused with sage in appearance and aroma – it looks like a low spreading bush with small blue flowers. Like thyme, hyssop is dried before adding to tea.
Lavender
Added to tea, lavender tastes like something between sage, rosemary and thyme, say those who have tried the drink with this ingredient. In general, we can come to the conclusion that this option is rather an acquired taste.
