Reader, slowing down for the season with a good cup of herbal tea is a perfect way to balance your energy naturally.

Steeping some herbal tea is quite effortless.

In fact - it is easier than brewing tea using pure tea leaves of Camellia Sinensis, which creates bitter flavors at the incorrect temperatures or when steeping too long.

Herbal teas aren't that fussy.

You can forget the camomile infusion into the teapot for ten minutes and it is just a bit stronger to drink with the amazing flavor.

If you forget green tea in the pot...

Well - into the drain it goes.

The brewing essentials are:

• Teapot or tea kettle
• Some kind of strainer or infuser
• A cup i(f you are not steeping in the cup straight away)

That's it.

I regularly boil water using an electric kettle and pour it into a strainer-filled teapot.

But if I sneak into the kitchen before the rest of the family is awake (like every morning), I use a tea kettle on the stove, which is an almost silent way to brew the herbal tea.

I can sip the herbal infusion in silence and start my morning comfortably.

​

Three tips on brewing your own herbal tea:

🍵 Heat the teapot with warm water before making the tea to keepit hot longer during the steeping and serving and use a teapot cozy.

🍵 Cover the teapot with a lid or the teacup with a saucer to seal the heat and the beautiful essential oils from escaping your perfect herbal infusion.

🍵 Serve your tea how you enjoy it most.

If you are making Moroccan Mint tea, choose tea glasses. If you want to sip longer, choose a tall mug instead of a large one. The wider the evaporation surface is the faster the herbal tea cools.

​Brewing herbal tea is an amazing natural lifestyle habit to add to your slow mornings.

Every day makes a difference. ♡
