Peppermint soothes away indigestion, while rice calms and nourishes. Whether it's a really bad day digestively or emotionally, a glass of Peppermint Sooth-E should relieve any upset.

In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of the water to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool 1 minute.
Place the peppermint leaves in a bowl with a lid. Pour the water over the peppermint leaves. Cover and steep for 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, blend the rice, remaining 2 cups water, oil, and syrup (if using) until smooth. (The mixture will thicken. Avoid thinning the mixture with additional water.)
Strain the tea, then pour it into the blender. Blend until smooth, removing any lumps, and serve warm or refrigerate.
Notes
Caution: Mint is not appropriate for people with acid reflux (GERD) as it may exacerbate symptoms.
