International Tea Day!

My Favorite Medicinal Tea Recipies in Celebration of International Tea Day!

Ginger Chamomile Tea:

• Chamomile 1 Tbsp
• Ginger 1 pinch or to taste
• Honey to taste.
• Steep for 30 min.
• Helpful for an upset stomach, nausea, pain, or inflammation. Help you relax at night! Really, will help almost any ailment.

Holy Vana Mate!

• 1 Tbsp Holy Basil (Vana)
• 1 Tbsp Yerba Mate.
• Pour 8oz 160-180 degree Water over. Steep for 3-5 Min. or longer! See how you like it!.
  Helpful for a yummy tasting pick me up! There is caffeine in the tea. There are also the extra added benefits of Holy Basil as an adaptogen and blood sugar control, and upset digestion.

Fasting Support Tea

• 1 Tbsp Hibiscus
• 1 tsp Spearmint
  Just a lovely tasting tea that helps when you are fasting, to help you fast a little bit longer!
• This same tea can be swapped with Peppermint for a lovely cooling Summer Tea.
• If it is too sour add honey to taste.

Coffee Alternative:

• 2 Tbsp Cacao powder (or nibs *Increase nibs for more cocoa flavor)
• 2 Tbsp Roasted Chicory Rt.
• 2 Tbsp Roasted Dandelion Rt.
  Prepare in a French press with 30oz Hot Water. Steep for 4 min Strain and Enjoy. If you would like it to be more bitter for more medicinal effects. You do not need to strain. This is a prebiotic-rich, heart, and liver-supportive drink! Taste great if you double the recipe and make it as a cold infusion and add your favorite cream.

Ginger Tea:

• 1 Tbsp Frozen Juiced Ginger
• 1 Tbsp Lemon or Lime Juice
• 1 Tbsp Honey.
  Add all the above to 8oz hot water and enjoy. Great at the 1st sign of sickness or headache or any kind of pain. Menstrual pain also!

Sleepy-time Tea

• 1 Tbsp Catnip
• 1 Tbsp Skullcap
• Directions: 1 heaping Tbsp in 8oz Hot water. Steep for 15-20 min. Strain and enjoy 1hr – 1/2 hr before bed.

This is a yummy safe tea that kids enjoy. For those that have a hard time getting their minds to shut off, I add Passionflower to it.
