I am a big tea drinker, especially on cold winter days when I want to stay warm. This tea is one of my favorites – a delicious herbal blend of chamomile, peppermint, lavender and roses. I made up a big batch of this loose-leaf blend to enjoy this winter and also to give as gifts.
To make this blend I first acquired the herbs I wanted for the tea. I always use high-quality, organic herbs purchased from my local apothecary. Mountain Rose is also a great online resource. Then I combined equal parts of the chamomile, peppermint, lavender and rosebuds in a small bowl and stirred to combine.
There are tons of creative ways to package tea. You can simply fill a tin-tie bag and add a pretty label, or fill your own loose-leaf tea bags, tie with some baker’s twine and add a cute tag.
I can’t wait to try making more of my own tea blends. Anyone have a favorite recipe they’d like to share?
