Chamomile: Celebrated for its calming properties and delicate, floral flavor, chamomile is a staple in stress-relief blends. For a soothing cup, combine chamomile with other calming herbs like lavender.
Mentha (Mint): Refreshing and invigorating, mint leaves aid digestion and revitalize the senses. Adding fresh or dried mint is an essential step in creating revitalizing herbal teas. You might also find that a quality nonstick cookware set helps you prepare herbs more efficiently.
Lavender: Known for its relaxing aroma, lavender helps reduce stress and promote restful sleep. Pair it with chamomile for an ultra-relaxing herbal brew.
Ginger: This zesty spice adds a spicy kick and supports immune health. Fresh ginger can be grated directly into your tea, or you can use dried slices, which you can prepare using a Cuisinart bread maker machine to create ginger-based baked treats that complement your teas.
Hibiscus: Vibrant and tart, hibiscus is rich in antioxidants and adds a beautiful color and flavor to your blends. To ensure freshness, store hibiscus in airtight containers like the JoyJolt glass storage containers.
