ingredients
1 tsp dried red clover
1 tsp dried calendula
1 tsp dried spearmint
8 oz hot water
optional add-ins:
a drizzle of raw honey
a squeeze of fresh lemon
a fresh mint sprig
you'll also need: a tea infuser or reusable tea bag
instructions
1. add all herbs to a tea infuser or place directly into your mug.
2. pour 8 oz of hot water, just off the boil, over the herbs.
3. cover and steep for 8 to 10 minutes.
4. strain, add any optional add-ins, and sip slowly.
the ritual
while it steeps: using light, gentle strokes, massage under your jawline and along your collarbone, moving outward and down.
breathe: take three grounding breaths. inhale deeply, exhale fully, and let your shoulders drop.
sip with intention: enjoy your cup slowly, without your phone, as a quiet moment just for you.
herbalist tips
cover while steeping: a lid or saucer holds in the spearmint's cooling aroma.
make it iced: double the herbs, steep, cool, and pour over ice with a lemon slice.
morning or evening: this caffeine-free cup fits any time of day, so pair the ritual with your skincare routine.
good to know
