Milk thistle, also known as Holy Thistle, is a flowering herb related to the daisy family, and has been cultivated by humans for many centuries.
In recent years, a number of nearly forgotten herbs have grown in popularity. Teas that were once unknown or underrated are now starting to find a place in the lives of many herbal tea enthusiasts. Milk thistle tea may not have a reputation that's as popular as some other herbal teas, such as chamomile or spearmint, but it still remains greatly respected by many herbal tea drinkers. While the taste of milk thistle isn't as favorable as some other teas, it can easily be mixed with other flavorful brews in order to achieve a more appealing flavor. Many people prefer blending milk thistle with spearmint leaf tea for a pleasantly cool, refreshing taste.
What this tea lacks in taste, it makes up for in nutritional value. Milk thistle tea is a natural source of vitamin E, along with several minerals, such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and manganese. It offers a number of unique constituents found in few other plant resources, and a few more familiar ones, including beta carotene, quercetin, and even 90% essential fatty acids. With these qualities topped off by its antioxidant content, it's easy to see what makes milk thistle tea a worthwhile herbal brew.
