How people cook with it
This herbal infusion is perfect for a warm drink any time of day. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for other beverages.
- Morning wake-up drink
- Afternoon relaxation
- Soothing evening beverage
- Base for iced tea
To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour hot, but not boiling, water over the tea bag. Allow it to steep for 5 to 7 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor. You can adjust the steeping time to your preference. For a cooler drink, let the steeped tea cool and then serve over ice. Some people enjoy adding a touch of honey or a slice of fresh lemon to enhance the flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike black or green teas, this blend is naturally caffeine-free. The combination of lemon and ginger provides a distinct citrusy and spicy character that sets it apart from single-herb infusions. The inclusion of echinacea adds a unique herbal note.
Who it is for
This tea is for anyone seeking a naturally flavored, caffeine-free hot beverage.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tea bags in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Keeping them in their original box or an airtight container will help maintain their freshness and flavor for an extended period.
