But if you would like an even tastier tea, you can use the following recipe. Bring two cups of water to a boil. Add one teaspoon of dried chamomile, one teaspoon of dried mint and one teaspoon of dried lavender. Allow the tea to steep for five minutes. Pour the tea through a strainer into your favorite mug and add honey to taste. This version will taste incredible and it also has a wonderful fragrance. I just love the smell of lavender.

Chamomile is great for soothing stomachs, which is one of factor in alleviating heartburn. And it also is known to reduce stress, which is a huge factor in causing heartburn.
