Celebrate life and love with this gorgeous tea the color of rubies. These herbs are nourishing to the nervous system and good for heart health. It lifts your spirits and calms your nerves.
Perfect for a lazy afternoon or after a long day of hard work or stress. This tea was formulated by none other than Rosemary Gladstar, herbal goddess and plant guru. From her book, Herbal Healing for Women.
I have to say I’ve wanted to try this tea recipe for so long. Every time I read the ingredients I think, “Ooooh that has to be scrumptious!” It is indeed scrumptious my friends.
In Rosemary’s book it is recommended as a good tea to renew vitality after birth. It’s rich in nervines and spirit lifters and tastes fabulous on ice. After I gave birth I’m not sure I could have had too much ice water! I can imagine lounging around with a nice big glass of this iced tea, while I bask in my post birth bliss, nursing my babe.
But for those of you who aren’t planning a new addition to the fam, don’t think this tea isn’t equally nourishing for you. Anytime you’ve had a hard stressful week, pick a day to unwind and drink some nourishing teas. We get so busy sometimes we really forget that in order to take care of others we have to practice self love.
Make yourself a whole pitcher of this tea and do some yoga, a homemade spa treatment or do a meditation.
