Have you ever considered blending your own tea? Heidi swears by it and says that blending teas yourself is like making your own soup versus buying the canned stuff. I never thought of it like that, did you? So, since I am on such a ginger kick anyway, I am planning to try this detoxifying mint tea blend full of lemon, ginger, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin and black peppercorns sometime this week. Sounds like a great and healthy new habit to adapt this year, doesn’t it?
As my grandma would say, what’s good for the senses, can only do good for the soul. What’s your favourite tea: green, rooibos, black, fruit or white? xo
P.S: My recent favourite.
P.P.S: And this winter tea goodness:)

I'm trying to cut back on coffee so the idea of making my own tea sounds great to me.
I love teas, but cut back since reading articles on 'what's actually in your tea' even the 'organic' ones. I'm looking forward to trying these out. I'm a big fan of putting together detoxifying water :) Have a great day lovely xoxox
I love mint tea! It's my absolute favorite, especially on a cold winter's eve. I always buy the Twinings brand, but this seems like a worthy, healthy try.
Cheers!

That tea blend sounds fantastic! I'm going to have to try that. When I'm feeling unwell I like to make tea with ginger, lemon juice and honey. Sometimes I'll add a dash of cayenne pepper and that helps open up your nose if you are plugged up.

Mmmm yes! And I do! I made a Lemon Cranberry Lavender Rooibos tea recently. In fact I'm doing four tea recipes this month in honor of National Hot Tea Month if you care to read along :-)

xo cheers!
Lovely! I like drinking herbal teas too. My two favourites are mint and cranberry. I just made my own 'beat the winter blues' post on my blog! You inspired me :)
Vanisha, same here. I read a few not too great articles about store-bought tea and I was shocked!
Oh yum - mint tea is wonderful, Akshara :)
Love that mix and I will try it for sure this week, Katie. Thank you:)
Katie, I will totally check those out. Sounds wonderful!
Aww..Polly, I can't wait to check it out:) xoxo
