Brewing herbal tea might seem simple, but small details make a big difference. Here’s how to make the perfect cup of herbal tea for maximum flavor and benefits.

1. Use the Right Water Temperature

Unlike black or green tea, herbal teas need near-boiling water (around 200°F-212F) to fully extract their flavors and nutrients. When it comes to water choice we prefer using filtered water for our infusions.

Tip: If your tea tastes weak, try using hotter water or steeping longer.

2. Steep for the Right Time

Different herbs require different steeping times:

• Light herbal flowers (chamomile, lavender): 5-7 minutes

• Leaves (peppermint, lemon balm): 5-10 minutes

• Roots & spices (ginger, turmeric, rooibos): 10-15 minutes

Longer steeping = stronger flavor & benefits.

3. Add Natural Sweeteners for Flavor

Skip refined sugar and try these natural sweeteners:

✔️ Honey – Pairs well with chamomile & Rooibos

✔️ Maple syrup – Great for spiced teas

✔️ Coconut sugar – Adds depth to herbal blends

4. Try Tea Blends for Extra Benefits

Mixing herbs can enhance their effects. Some great combos include:

Chamomile + Lemon Balm = Relaxation

Hibiscus + Rooibos = Sweet & Tart Iced Tea
