Papatya Tea (Chamomile Tea)
Chamomile is common outside of Turkey as well, though perhaps it's more traditional in Turkey than in other cultures.
In Turkey, it's given particularly to children to help them sleep at night, with sometimes teaspoons even given to nursing infants to relieve their gas and help calm them to sleep.
It has a calming function and helps with menstrual cramps, and the antioxidants present in the tea make for fantastic stress-relievers.
Adaçayı Tea (Sage Tea)
The herb's strong phytochemical makeup means that it's effective at reducing stress, sweating, menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, and saliva.
Sage tea is also used for sore throats, coughing, and mouth irritations.
Or, again, just as a way to drink something fresh and hot in the winter months – you're sure to feel better after a glass of Turkish sage tea!
Nar Tea (Pomegranate Tea)
Some of the best pomegranates in the world come from Anatolia, so it's no surprise that pomegranate tea is a particular Turkish delight!
Pomegranates are strong in antioxidants, and pomegranate tea has been shown to event chronic diseases, boost heart health, aid in weight loss efforts, and reduce inflammation, and more.
A burst of strong pomegranate, brewed fresh and heated up to warm the heart is really a great way to pass a cool autumn or winter day.
