HOW TO MAKE HERBAL TEA

For the best results, always use filtered, spring, or distilled water.  Don't use tap water which contains chemicals that destroy the herbs

Hot tea brewing method:  Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of herbs for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the pot, cover and let steep for 2-4 minutes. Pour over a strainer into your cup.  Sweeten if desired. (Add herbs either directly to the pot or in a mesh bag)

Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 5 teaspoons herbs into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1-1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the herbs. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the brewed tea into the serving pitcher, straining the leaves. Add ice and fill with cold water. Garnish (I like mint leaf) and sweeten to taste.

Herbal teas can soothe the spirit and improve the body.  Taken regularly, herbal teas are an excellent addition to your natural living lifestyle, and along with aromatherapy, can enhance your health and well-being.

Here's to your good health and good taste.
Enjoy!

LOOSE HERBAL TEA

Most of us don't have fresh herbs growing in our gardens year round, so we're dependent on others to provide quality herbs for our tea.

How can you determine quality?  Look for herbs from a small supplier that has a high turnover, assuring fresh herbs; most large or commercial companies have shelves and shelves of herbs stored in a warehouse, for who knows how long.

Why I send your herbs in large pieces:  The larger the herb pieces, the less chance for oxidation to occur and the herb can hold its value better. Smaller pieces and powdered herbs are in a more unstable form (unless freeze dried), and the potency is much less.  (There are cases where the properties of herbs are more available in powdered form, such as resins like myrrh and propolis.)  Store your tea in a glass jar, in a cabinet away from heat and light, and then when you're ready to make your cup of tea, go ahead and crush the herbs with your fingers, or with the back of a spoon, especially if you have star anise or hibiscus in your blend.  :)

The convenience of tea bags is apparent, yet in order to put the herbs into the tea bags, they must be cut small enough to fit, so the quality goes down if made in advance.  We offer our tea blends in loose form and carry many choices of tea-making utensils, because to us quality comes first.  However, for your convenience, or for traveling, we do carry bags for making your own fresh herbal tea bags.

HERBAL TEAS FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN

Babies sleep a lot, but they don't always have restful sleep.  Even babies feel stress from the day's activities, or may have an upset tummy, colic, or possibly over-stimulation that could disrupt a restful sleep period.

Herbal teas do not contain caffeine, artificial flavor or color, sugar or other stimulants.

My children were always grabbing for 'my' tea, so I made their own herbal teas to have in their bottles, and eventually in their sippy cup.  A great way to get immune boosting and antioxidants.

I think three or four months is when I began serving them teas.  These teas have been designed for babies and children, but certainly are enjoyed by all ages!

ROOIBOS

This ORGANIC herbal tea has many health benefits!

It's caffeine free, low in tannin, and very rich in antioxidants. It contains no additives, preservatives or colorants.  The minerals found in Rooibos are Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Iron and Flouride

It does not have a negative effect on the absorption of iron, due to the fact that it contains half the tannin found in regular teas.

Indigenous to the Cederberg area in South Africa.

The herb rooibos relieves insomnia, digestive problems (nausea, vomiting, ulcers) and stomach cramps, constipation, treats hay fever, allergic symptoms, asthma and eczema, helps irritability and mild depression.

Properties:  anti-spasmodic, promotes healthy skin, relieves insomnia, colic treatment for babies, helps heal diaper rash and other skin irritations.

Prepare Rooibos as you would any other loose tea, but the difference with this tea is , the longer you allow it to steep, the more anti-oxidants are released into the tea.   Steep up to 20 minutes. It can also be served as an ice tea with sugar, honey, or fruit pieces.  The tea is a dark rich red color, I think you'll really like it.

More on Rooibos:

Rooibos also contains alpha hydroxy acids and magnesium which are necessary for healthy skin and a healthy nervous system.

No oxalic acid can be found in Rooibos so people suffering from kidney stones can drink it. Although rooibos tea is widely enjoyed as a beverage, it is said to have many health properties and is useful in allergy attacks, skin irritations and as a slimming drink.

Rooibos Tea is Great for Skin!

Preliminary findings suggest that when Rooibos is applied topically, it can be a beauty-enhancer.  Almost 70% of acne sufferers in one study reported clearer skin when they applied it twice a day for several weeks.

Experts recommend brewing a cup of the tea, cooling it and applying to the face with a cotton ball once or twice a day.  No rinsing is necessary, and the tea will not stain the skin.   -- Women's World, March 27, 2001.

Japanese Green Tea... the mildest form of traditional green teas.  Contains caffeine.

This organic green tea from Japan is a delicate, stimulating beverage made from the season's fresh harvest of the first young leaves.  The handpicked tea leaves from the high mountaintops of Japan are immediately steamed to retain their peak flavor and brilliant green color.

Extensive research confirms many health benefits associated with drinking green tea as well as supplying daily antioxidants.  It is highly recommended as a delightful general cleansing tea.  Because of the caffeine content, green tea should be prepared using small amounts of herb and steeped no longer than 1-2minutes.  One ounce of green tea can generate up to 20 cups of tea!

It's a nice addition to combination teas and a healthy substitute for coffee!!

If you're new to herbal teas, you may want to consider adding a little something to your blend to make it a bit tastier.  Some herbal blends taste great, some are bland, some are bright, and as some people say 'if it doesn't taste bad, it's not good for you ...'  While that's not necessarily true, some blends DO taste better than others.

Here are some recommendations for spicing up your blends to suit your fancy:

These are sold by the ounce, with a 4-ounce minimum:

Cinnamon Granules   $0.52 
Lemon Peel   $1.10 
Lycii Berries slightly sweet, just add a few berries to your pot of tea $1.62 
Orange Peel   $0.75 
Peppermint   $0.65 
Star Anise a mild licorice flavor, just add one or two stars to your pot of tea $1.80
