Herbal tea is actually a hydrating drink!
Herbal teas don’t contain leaves from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, and generally don’t have any caffeine content. There are some exceptions, of course, like yerba maté, which contains twice as much caffeine as a cup of black tea, but most herbal blends' lack of caffeine make them an excellent choice for quenching your thirst without the diuretic effect. Herbal tea also has the benefit of providing your body with nutrients, antioxidants, and particular plant benefits, like drinking mint to ease nausea or rosehips as a vitamin C boost.
