Home-brewed tea blends are more than a cosy pastime. They’re a way to:
It’s a ritual, not a chore. Imagine stepping away from screens, crafting your own blend and inhaling the steam like a mini retreat. Your evening wind-down or morning pick-me-up gains purpose and personality.
High-grade herbs make all the difference. Think of your blend as a symphony: each note must be spot on. Here’s your orchestra:
• Dried Chamomile Flowers – gentle and sleep-inducing
• Dried Lavender Buds – floral calm
• Dried Peppermint Leaves – digestive aid and fresh breath
• Citrus Rind – bright zing from lemon or orange
• Fresh Spices – ginger, turmeric for warmth and circulation
Tip for drying fresh fruit or spices: use a vegetable peeler to cut thin strips of rind or peel. Lay them on a baking sheet and set your oven to its lowest setting (around 90 °C) for 2 hours. Let them rest overnight if they need more time. Chop finely and store in airtight jars until you’re ready to blend.
