My Favorite Self Love Tea Blend

November 18, 2016

I have been talk a lot about self love lately and I want to share my personal self-love tea blend. It is calming and nourishing and guaranteed to put everything in perspective. The herbs I use are common and can be picked up in an apothecary or herbal shop or you can purchase them online here. I sip a cup almost everyday and I always feel a little better after.

Ingredients*: 
4 parts lemon balm
3 parts lavender
3 parts peppermint
2 parts rose petals

1 part rose hips

*All herbs are dried

Mix the herbs together in a mason jar or other air tight container until ready to brew.

Brewing instructions:

Brew 1 tablespoon herbal mix with 8 ounces hot water and let steep for 5-10 minutes.

Add honey to taste if you want a little sweetness.

A little more about the herbs:

Lemon balm

I think of lemon balm as the sunshine plant because of it’s magical ability to spread happiness. It is elevating and calming at the same time. Lemon balm is green and smells slightly of citrus it has a subtle flavor that blends nicely with other herbs.

Lavender 

lavender is well know for its relaxing qualities and its beautiful blue and purple color. Lavender smells and tastes delicious and is a lovely addition to any tea due to its flavor.

Peppermint

Another classic, peppermint has a distinctly fresh scent and taste. It has a slightly energizes effect so when you are running low it adds a little kick.

Rose petals

Rose has delightful floral scent and taste. The beauty of a rose can be considered a medicine unto itself. Roses symbolize love and therefor must be included in this blend.

Rose hips

Rose hips have that same rose flavor but slightly sweeter. Nourishing and tonifying to the nervous system rose hips help the body relax when it has been over worked. Rose hips have an incredibly high level of Vitamin C adding to their beneficial qualities.

I hope you have a marvelous weekend filled with beautiful moments. Let me know if you try this blend out and what you think.

Love and light,

Rae

  • I always wanted to be an artist growing up but now I identify as a creator rather than an artist. My life isn’t devoted to the development of one art form. Instead, I’m devoted to living in creative flow and letting my life and dreams manifest naturally from that creative energy. ✨

It always makes me a little nervous to go to blogger events because I’m quite shy by nature. @wholefoods created such a warm & welcome environment. It was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season #letsholiday 📸@ephemeralfox
