Happy belated Winter Solstice! We are currently through the shortest days of the year and the sun is beginning to stay out a little bit longer. This is the tea I will be turning towards during the last long dark nights that define the next few weeks ahead. It is both warming and uplifting which I am sure I’m not alone in craving at the moment.
Rose has always been my most loved plant ally. I find everything about it to be soothing- from the smell, to the beauty of the petals, and the mellow sweet taste. It always comforts me in times that life feels a little heavy on my heart. Ginger, cinnamon, and fenugreek provide warming and sweetness. The ginger in particular also helps circulation which can wake up the body from that chilled to the bone feeling this time of year can sometimes leave us with. Mullein is an excellent herb for this time of year, offering any needed respiratory support and congestion relief.
Ingredients:
Per 8oz hot water~
2 tsp Mullein
2 tsp Rose Petals
1 tsp Fenugreek
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon Chips
To make, steep all herbs in freshly boiled water for at least 10 minutes, strain, and enjoy!
