“The smell of Mint doth stir up the mind, and the taste to a greedy desire of meat.” (The Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes (1597) - J. Gerard). “A good posie for students to oft smell. It quickened the brain.” (Herbs and Herb Lore of Colonial America).
Peppermint was carried to the New World by European immigrants, where it escaped and grew in the wild. Colonists steeped peppermint to drink as a tea or sugared the leaves to eat as candy.
Chamomile was consumed during the Revolution as a patriotic alternative to paying the British tea tax. Tasting of fresh apples, chamomile is a fragrant, caffeine-free tea.
