Rose Herbal Tea Blend
Gorgeous to look at, and even better for your holistic health and wellness efforts! Plants and herbs are incredible additions to your holistic health and wellness lifestyle! If you're an existing tea drinker, you know how satisfying it is to enjoy a cup of hot or iced tea, knowing that it's providing many health benefits, depending on the mix of herbs you're consuming. If you're new to drinking tea and just beginning your tea-drinking journey - this gorgeous blend is a delicious way into the world of tea-drinking!
This blend's "star" ingredient is predominantly Rose Petals/Buds, with the addition of Hawthorn Berries, Spearmint Leaves, and Orange Peel that complement the Rose, but without overpowering it. Served hot or iced, the flavor is pleasant, smooth and OH, so satisfying!
Rose contains high concentrations of antioxidants and helps with inflammation, depression, stress, and is considered an anti-aging plant. My Rose blend tea is a great way to relax at the end of the day, or whenever you need to destress.
Hawthorn Berries are known to benefit heart health. They're loaded with antioxidants; have anti-inflammatory properties; may lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels; help reduce anxiety; and are a digestive aid that helps relieve constipation.
Spearmint Leaf also has several health benefits including helping with digestive issues; helping to lower blood pressure and blood sugar; regulate hormones; help reduce stress; and aids with weight loss by boosting metabolism and reducing appetite and cravings.
Orange Peel is rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, which can strengthen the immune system and help to prevent cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and the flu. Orange Peel is anti-inflammatory, helps with heart health, digestion, and weight loss.
Prepare this tea as a single 8-12 oz cup and drink it hot as a comforting drink on a cold, winter day. Or, prepare a larger batch of tea and store in a pitcher in the fridge as a refreshing cold beverage to sip on all day long in the summer!
This blend tastes wonderful without adding sweeteners, but it's also delicious with lime or lemon juice; raw honey; stevia; or xylitol.
