Green tea contains caffeine, which can help boost energy and mental alertness. Peppermint and ginger have invigorating properties and can help with digestion, while ginseng is known for its adaptogenic properties, which can help the body better handle stress and fatigue. The addition of honey can provide some natural sweetness and may also help with energy levels. It's important to note that if you are sensitive to caffeine, you may want to reduce the amount of green tea used or switch to an herbal tea that does not contain caffeine.
