Orange Ginger Mint Tea + other tummy friendly teas
Working out what drinks to have when you have a sensitive tummy can be a bit tricky.
There are plenty of tummy friendly teas to choose from such as:
- Peppermint tea
- Green tea
- White tea
- Black tea
I also love orange and ginger tea. It’s tummy soothing and refreshing. It also has anti-inflammatory antioxidants and antibacterial properties, which can help relieve stomach irritations, nausea and headaches. It’s also great if you feel like you’re coming down with a cold, just like I feel at the moment.
