Fresh Herb + Spice Tea Recipes

We LOVE drinking tea in our Sacred Lotus Tea Tumblers – herbal infusions, loose leaf tea, or even organic tea bags.

Some of our favorite organic tea bags are Happy Tummy by Allegro, Chamomile Lavender by Traditional Medicines, and of course Sacred Lotus Love Tea Gift Set for loose leaf tea (coming soon!).

But our absolutely favorite way to drink tea is to use fresh chopped herbs + spices. The following 2 recipes are super easy to make – both only take 2-3 minutes to boil the water and chop the herbs + spices.

Then just relax, kick back with your tea tumbler, enjoy the scent, warmth and health benefits of fresh herbs and spices. Most importantly, slow down and enjoy more moments of presence and connection – with yourself or a loved one.
