Today when it comes to making your own herbal teas you don't have to just rely on your local health food store as there are plenty of sites online which now offer a wide range of different herbal tea recipes. In fact because there are so many different recipes to choose from you may need to try a few before you find the ones that you like.
Below we provide you with details of two such recipes which you may want to try and which you may find beneficial to your health and wellbeing. The first one we look at will provide with uplifting properties that will give your energy levels a boost.
Known as the uplifting tea for this you will need to get hold of the following dried ingredients:- 25g of chamomile flowers, 25g of lavender flowers, 25g lemon balm leaves, plus 50g of vervain, 50g of peppermint leaves and finally 50g of crushed linden flowers.
You mix these ingredients together, then place in a jar (dark in color), and then store them away. Then when you need to make your teas get 1 or 2 teaspoons of the mix and place in a small teapot or a tisane cup. Then get some boiling water and add this to the mixture you have placed in the teapot or cup. Allow the mixture to brew for around 5 to 10 minutes before you pour it through a strainer. Then all you need to do is drink it.
The previous recipe we looked at provided your body with a boost of energy whilst the next one contains properties which will help you to relax and sleep better at night. To make this particular night time herbal tea you will need 25g of California Poppies, 25g of Hawthorn flowers and 25g of Melilot, plus 50g of wild lettuce leaves.
Again as with the first recipe we have provided in this article you need to mix all the ingredients previously mentioned together. Then store in an airtight jar when not being used. This is ideal to be drunk last think at night just before you are about to go to bed.
In order to make this tea you need 1 to 2 teaspoons of the mixture you have made and place it in a tisane cup (which comes with not just a cup and saucer but also with a strainer and a lid) or a teapot. Then to this you need to add some freshly boiled water and once added allow it to stand for between five and ten minutes before you pass it through a strainer. Doing this will allow the properties within the herbs to become infused in the water that you will be drinking.
But as well as the two herbal tea recipes we have mentioned above there are plenty of others which you may want to consider trying. Some which are able to act as a detoxifying agent whilst others can help to relieve the stresses and strains that we suffer in our lives today. Although many people prefer to drink these kinds of beverages over more normal teas and coffees because they are low in calories, they contain no caffeine and they are completely natural.
