Herbal teas are beverages made by infusing various herbs, flowers, fruits, or spices in hot water. Unlike traditional teas, which come from the Camellia sinensis plant, herbal teas can be made from a wide range of plant materials. Common ingredients include chamomile, peppermint, and hibiscus, each offering unique flavors and potential health benefits. These teas are naturally caffeine-free, making them a popular choice for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake. Herbal teas can be enjoyed hot or cold and are often used for relaxation, digestion, or soothing ailments. They are widely available in stores and can also be easily prepared at home.
