Mint coffee: A refreshing twist with digestive benefits

Coffee with mint will make your afternoon relaxation with a cup in hand more enjoyable. The beautiful aroma of coffee perfectly blends with the refreshing notes of mint. You simply have to try this.

We often enjoy the properties of mint and coffee separately, but what if you combine them? The result is a full-flavoured beverage and a beneficial aid for digestion.

Mint adds refreshing notes to drinks, including coffee. It primarily has bactericidal and antispasmodic effects and anti-inflammatory, cholagogue, and choleretic properties. Moreover, mint stimulates the digestive system, increases appetite, and lowers blood pressure.

Coffee, on the other hand, provides energy and supports the body's functioning. Its effects enhance brain function, improve concentration, and reduce the risk of several diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Coffee combined with mint leaves will deliver a taste sensation and stimulate the digestive system to function better.

Ingredients:

• 240 mL (1 cup) of black coffee,
• 3 mint leaves,
• optional milk and sugar to taste.

Preparation:

1. Rinse the mint leaves thoroughly, dry them, and then tear them into smaller pieces to release more of their aroma.
2. Add the mint leaves to hot, freshly brewed coffee and cover the mixture for a few minutes, allowing the mint to infuse.
3. Drink in small sips. You can add your favourite extras to taste, but the best flavour and health benefits are obtained by consuming the plain infusion.
