Lemon Verbena Mint Tea

Why people make this tea

When life feels heavy — whether from work pressure, job loss, or the weight of ongoing uncertainty — the body and mind can both feel worn down. Nourilo has long turned to fragrant herbal teas as a gentle daily ritual to create a small pocket of calm. This blend of lemon verbena, peppermint, and fresh basil carries a bright, uplifting aroma that traditionally supports mental clarity, eases nervous tension, and helps offset the foggy, flat feeling that comes with prolonged stress. It is not a replacement for exercise, fresh air, or professional support — but as a warm cup in a difficult moment, it does its quiet job beautifully.

Method

1. Wash fresh basil and strip the leaves from the stems.
2. Combine lemon verbena, basil leaves, and water in a small pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Add peppermint leaves and cover the pot. Steep for 3 minutes.
4. Strain and pour into a cup. Drink warm.

Nourilo’s Tips

If lemon verbena is the only herb you have on hand, it makes a perfectly good solo tea — just steep it in boiled water for a few minutes. Because this blend is mildly stimulating, Nourilo recommends morning or early afternoon as the best time to enjoy it. Skip it at night to protect your sleep. Pregnant women should avoid herbal teas containing verbena and basil.
