There is an easy method to making herbal teas. Put one tablespoon of the herb in a tea ball and place in a cup of boiling water.

Let the mixture simmer anywhere from five to ten minutes. Remove the ball and it is ready to drink.

You don't have to use a ball, and just put the herbs directly into the hot water.

You can make a larger quantity by using a pot on the stove. Use one tablespoon of herb for every cup of water. The summertime can be hot and sticky. You can also make a refreshing drink by just adding ice cubes.

A variety of herbs will give you a delightful drink. Chamomile, Peppermint, Apple and Orange flavors are just a few. A nice finishing touch is adding a fresh lemon slice or a sprig or two of fresh mint.

Any of the herbs listed above can provide you with not only a nice relaxing drink, but can also serve as possible health benefits.
