I don't think I've mentioned that I love the flavour of mint. That is, the kind you get in little tins. Needless to say, I was not prepared for the taste of real mint.
I thought it would be fantastic. It smelled good. The tea bags. They smelled delicious.
What a rude awakening. They tasted NOTHING like the "mint" flavour that I loved so much. NOTHING. Clearly my sugar levels are much too high.
I hope that I'll like the taste better when I get used to it. It doesn't taste BAD, just...unexpected. Plus, you catch a whiff of the smell as you drink, so it gives you the illusion of mint leaves, which taste reasonable. Spearmint tea has a lot of benefits: as well has containing a high amount of antioxidants (those lower your risk of cancer), it also lowers the levels of the male hormone androgen in your body, which causes facial hair growth.
Other foods that are high in antioxidants include:
- blueberries
- cranberries
- dried prunes (yum!)
- pecans
- apples
Luckily they all taste good.
Also, the spearmint tea makes my throat feel pretty fresh, which is awesome.
Anyways, I've got a truckload of homework to get working on. Bye.
