Peppermint Water

Alyson Stringer

This makes an incredible summer drink — a drop of peppermint oil in a glass of ice water is my go-to summer drink. Peppermint is one of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing an upset stomach and aiding digestion. Peppermint’s fragrance has also been shown in studies to increase alertness, boost your mood and reduce fatigue while working out, and help to curb the appetite/lessen the impulse to overeat. Maybe we should be serving Peppermint Water at all our Clotiaux gatherings! (Nov 2010)

Peppermint essential oil

I recommend starting with a gallon container and starting with a couple of drops. Shake up the water and try it. Add more drops to flavor to your taste.
