Teas the stomach loves
After-dinner tea is one of the oldest habits in the book, and it earned its place. These five are the digestive classics — most of them sitting in your cupboard already.
| Name | When | Traditionally kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Peppermint | after meals | settling and freshening |
| Ginger | queasy mornings | warmth and steadiness |
| Fennel | after heavy food | the seed the old world chewed |
| Chamomile | tense evenings | a nervous stomach's old friend |
| Lemon balm | anytime | when stress sits in the belly |
Fennel gives you nothing whole — crush the seeds first, then steep ten minutes.
Keep this one — and get early access.
