HOW TO MAKE A FABULOUS CUP OF HOT TEA USING OUR LOOSE-LEAF BLENDS

Hot infusions draw out vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and delicate aromatic compounds from the aerial parts of a plant (flowers, leaves, etc.) as well as some aromatic roots. It makes a huge difference to use cold, filtered water when making your tea. Heat just shy of the boiling stage, about 180-200°F, to obtain the most potent infusion for your loose-leaf blend.

Makes one 8 oz. cup.

Ingredients

  • 1 - 2 teaspoons organic loose-leaf Wellness Tea Blend of choice
  • 8 oz. water heated to 180-212°F

Directions

  1. Fill a loose-leaf infuser with your choice of Wellness Tea blend. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of tea blend into a your loose-leaf tea infuser. Set infuser in cup.
  2. Pour heated water, (180-212 degrees), over loose-leaf tea blend and steep 5-7 minutes, or until desired strength.
  3. Remove infuser, add a touch of either our Wildflower Honey or Orange Blossom Honey to your tea and enjoy!
  4. Our Wellness Tea Blends are potent enough where you may wish to save the steeped leaves for a second cup of tea!
