How to Make a Nourishing Herbal Tea Blend
There are several reasons why I drink herbal tea. Not only do I enjoy the taste, but I know it to be an excellent way to boost my overall state of health.
Most of the time I drink individual teas. Stinging nettle, chamomile and peppermint are three of my favorites. However, sometimes I like the complexity of a blend. So, I created the following blend because it tastes good, is rich in vitamins and minerals, and is also a good way to help beat stress.
Things You'll Need:
3 tbsp. lemon balm
2 tbsp. stinging nettle leaves
2 tbsp. oatstraw
1 tbsp. chamomile flowers
1 tbsp. peppermint leaves
Boiling water
Small bowl
Wooden spoon
Airtight glass container
Tea strainer (optional)
1
Add all of the ingredients to the bowl and stir gently with a wooden spoon.
2
Transfer herbs to the glass container.
3
Store in a cool, dry place.
4
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of the dried herb blend--and enjoy a cup of tea.
Tips & Warnings
You can use a tea strainer to make cleanup easier.
Amber glass jars with a cork top are my favorite types of jars to store my blends in.
