I'm calling this "witchy" tea because it just came to me, like blam! and insisted on being made right away, so that's what I did; "witchy" just seems like the right word for that. Please excuse my not-so-good photos this time, I didn't want to put the kitchen light on and disturb the serenity.
You will need:
A sprig of rosemary
Two slices of lemon (or a tablespoon of lemon juice)
A green tea teabag
A camomile teabag
I don't like camomile tea, I have those teabags for my hair, so I was surprised when my body said that's what it wanted, but anyway...
Put everything in an infuser or a teapot
Add slightly-less-than-boiling water
And let it stand for at least three minutes.
I let mine sit for about five minutes before plunging and pouring.
And I stirred in about a teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, because I'm me.
I found this very pleasant. I wasn't sure about the camomile, but I tasted it before I added any cinnamon and my reaction was I don't hate it! I was surprised, I really was. I need to learn that good things happen when I trust my inklings and intuition.
Worlds of love,
Cassandra Louise.
I like cranberry herbal tea and I have my own items I put it in too... I am all about making it the way I like it... We all have out own likes and dislikes :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I find sometimes a herbal tea needs a little something extra to really appeal to me. :-)
DeleteInteresting!!! I am going to give this a go. I have never thought of mixing teas before. Thanks for the great idea!

DeleteSounds very therapeutic. Cinnamon is supposed to be good for lowering blood pressure too. What does camo tea do for your hair? Make it shiny? Cassandra I tried to subscribe by email and it told me it's not enabled. I'm not sure if it's my end or yours but I thought you might like to know :)
ReplyDeleteCamomile tea makes hair shiny and brings out natural highlights. :-)
DeleteThanks for letting me know about the email thing, I'll check it out. x
I strugle with herbal tea because I feel like it doesn't actually *taste* like anything, it just smells! It's always so disappointing because it smells fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour Witchy Tea seems like it would taste delicious though!
It really is lovely! :-)
