My days are extremely busy. No breather at all . My son keeps me on my toes. Doing daily chores , enjoying activities with my son, driving him around, picking up groceries – I am just all over the place … It feels overwhelming many a times. 

There is something about these herbal teas-they are my savior – its such a stress buster for me. Honestly I just make it… put on some good instrumental.. and sip it on my balcony .. its my routine at least 4 times a week . Just calms me down.  

It is Plethora of healthy goodness .. rich in anti – oxidants, minerals, vitamins.

It can easily replace your evening cup of tea/ coffee which means cutting down unnecessary sugar, caffeine and  calories. If you inculcate a habit of having herbal tea  at least twice a week you will soon begin to see some positive changes for sure.

Benefits are plenty :

Easy to make and very flavorful

Natural coolant

Stress buster

Immune booster

Aids digestion

Radiant and hydrated skin

Overall energy and so much more

So if you haven’t tried it yet , please do. 

Herbal teas can be made fresh at home with endless combinations of spices, fresh or dried herbs, edible flowers, fresh fruits , honey ,roots etc .

Every ingredient you use have its own health benefits.The ingredient list is endless and can be miss matched to suit your taste and mood.

I love to play with different flavors but this one is my all time favorite one to begin with.

This one is made with ingredients that can be easily found in every household.. hope you like it.

And if you do happen to make it , don’t forget to click a picture and send it over so that I can feature it on my Facebook page.
