Comfort In A Cup At Home

"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves- slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future." Thich Nat Hahn

As an herbalist, I like to consume health promoting teas everyday, especially during these colder months. It's a ritual during our retreats too to brew up a large pot of something herbal, tasty and healing. Drinking a cup of tea is a great way to enjoy a mindful, meditative moment with yourself and others. I've been teaching a children's qi gong class in which I bring a pot of tea and honey for my kids as wego around the circle sharing our gratitudes.
Here are two of Sagrada's wellness teas, easy to make at home. Enjoy.

Ginger Honey Tea

Simmer 2 cups of water with one inch chunk of thinly sliced ginger for 10 minutes. Remove ginger pieces and add raw honey to taste. This is good for upset stomach, Morning sickness, cold, flu, cough or hangover.

Full of Life Licorice Tea

This is a favorite tea here at Sagrada.
Simmer 6 cups water with 2 tsp licorice root, 2 tps cinnamon chips, 2 tsp dried or fresh ginger for 15 minutes. This tea is good for anyone experiencing emotional stress, anxiety, low grade depression, and restlessness.
