What kind of tea do you drink?

I just made Anise tea - I thought it was good for anxiety but can not find a reference.
My mom used to make mint leaf tea when I had a cold.

[details=Summary]Anise oil works as an expectorant, which means it helps in the coughing up of mucus in conditions like asthma, bronchitis, the common cold, and the whooping cough. It is therefore being used as an ingredient in cough syrups and lozenges.

The seeds also have mild estrogenic effects most likely due to the presence of diantheole and photoantheole in the oil. This is why the seeds have been used traditionally to promote lactation in nursing mothers, increase libido and to relief symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.[/details]

Isnā€™t anise a licorice flavor? Much the same base as sarsaparilla, or root beer flavor?

Sounds like a nice tea to try.

Usually served at a Chinese restaurant to go along with the food. Always had to drink tea unless I asked for water.

When I drink tea I normally just go for generic ā€˜chaiā€™ from Tescos, sometimes branch out with some green tea though
