Tea = Tummy Problems?

[Shels]

Hey everybody, quick question.
This morning I made myself some tea for the first time, it tasted fabulous, and I also thought it was very calming.
BUT, then after about an hour, I got horrible horrible intestinal pains that went on for quite some time.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a way around it, or do I just give up on the tea? I can't help but think it is the temperature...

(If it makes any difference, the ingredients were as follows: Lemon balm leaf, elderberry flowers, hibiscus flowers, rose petals, and licorice root).

It may be one of the ingredients but if it's the temperature you could try what I always do. I now leave my tea until it's tepid. I think calming means the ingredients not the temperature necessarily.
