Winter tea mixes to make & gift


Natural Lifestyle Letters

Hi Reader, winter is the best time to try out some new tea mixes and flavours. I have gathered for you different winter tea mixes that are perfect to enjoy right away, or mix up and store in a glass jar and give as a natural gift for any tea lover.

Here are a few of my favourites:

Spiced winter tea

Spiced winter tea is a pleasure to drink to get stable energy during the day without an instant energy spike and collapse of the coffe.

Use 2-3 tsp of the mixture per cup of 250ml hot water. Steep for max 5 minutes. Strain and serve hot. Sweeten with sugar or add some milk if you prefer.

  • 1 part black tea (Assam or Darjeeling)
  • 1 part cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 part cloves
  • 1 part star anise
  • 1 part green cardamom pods
TRY WITH THIS: Danish cinnamon swirls

Winter apple tea

Dried apples are a delight in the winter tea mixes, they give the fruity flavor and ah how they match so well with the cinnamon, it’s like an apple pie in a cup! Pair with the real Finnish apple pie to make the flavour experience complete.

Use 2-3 teaspoons per cup of 250ml hot water and steep for 2-5 minutes.

  • 6 parts black tea (Ceylon or Assam for example)
  • 2 parts dried apple cubes
  • 1 part crushed cinnamon bark
  • 1/2 part of almond flakes

Rooibos Gingerbread tea

In the winter, one of the most enjoyable things in winter is the scent of the gingerbreads. This rooibos tea has the cozy Christmassy gingerbread scent, and it is so amazing with traditional rye gingerbreads, just dunking in!

Use 2-3 teaspoons per cup of 250ml hot water and steep for 2-5 minutes.

  • 6 parts rooibos
  • 2 parts cinnamon bark
  • 1 part cardamom pods
  • 1 part ginger
  • 1 part chamomile petals
  • 1/4 part saffron petals

Natural Lifestyle Letters Hi Reader, It’s tempting to copy someone else’s system. I tried working out five times a week because it worked for my husband — and failed miserably. Habits only work when they match your energy, your season, and your life rhythm. Finding your own rhythm might mean working out at home while your child plays, sneaking in a run on your way home from work, or taking a quiet morning walk. The key is adapting, not copying. Even small tweaks — like matching workouts to...
