You don't always need to be productive

If you missed past weeks' newsletters you can read them all here.

Hi Reader.

Lately, I have been sharing with you plenty about the habits, and routines with a homemaking schedule (which you can download for free using your code: 1StepForward ) and some spring cleaning is yet to come...

BUT there should be also time to just be and chill without being productive. Tea and tea drinking is a big part of savoring moments and living a natural lifestyle.

So today I will just drop into your inbox shortly to share a recipe for a simple fragrant iced Moroccan mint tea.

You can make it easily with fresh mint leaves, some green tea, lime, and plenty of ice cubes. I have been making this iced version as a change to the traditional Moroccan mint tea that is served hot.

It has been such a joy to savor the moment with another kind of tea. What things do you use to savor the moment? Hit the reply button and tell me your best treats!

Every day makes a difference. ♡

​Iced Moroccan mint tea with fragrant mint, flavorful gunpowder green tea, and a hint of lime to give that oomph. This is the iced tea for any chill day.

You can easily scale up the recipe to serve in a pitcher for a crowd!

​The benefits of Moroccan mint tea are its boost to the immune system and metabolism, its help for upset stomach, and relief of stress to mention a few. The main ingredients, mint, and green tea make this drink such an amazing boost, and a beautiful hot drink to enjoy with family.

Using tea to stain wood naturally is one of my favorite ways to darken it and make it look weathered. As an avid tea drinker, I find it fun to use tea in other ways than just as a beverage - and well it costs next to nothing.

iced caffeine free rooibos tea.

Nordic Natural Living Community ♡ Weekly newsletter With or without? If you missed past weeks' newsletters you can read them all here.Reader, did you know that March is caffeine awareness month? Many choose tea over coffee to avoid caffeine, but the truth is that tea does contain caffeine too! Except for herbal teas - of course. Like coffee, the tea plant contains caffeine, which in tea is called theine. So choosing tea to cut out caffeine completely does not help. I read from a tea book,...

Nordic Natural Living Community ♡ Weekly newsletter I had underestimated this one completely If you missed past weeks' newsletters you can read them all here.Reader, at a certain point I realized that I had underestimated snacks completely when thinking about a healthy and natural lifestyle. Snacks are sneaky. You buy one bag of salty nuts and a month later you realize that - hold on! I bought ten tiny bags last month with plenty of salt, unhealthy oils, and additional things to keep them...
