Hi Everyone, how's everyone's January going?
For me, it's been a "recovery month" after December.
January is a time to seek restoration, one might be nursing a cough and/or cold or general fatigue from last month's holidays.
This Heather Flower Tea is the perfect, herbal, hot tea drink for Wintertime or any time of the year when you find yourself in need of restoration.
A few weeks ago, a sinus cold swept through our house and this Heather Flower Tea was just what was needed to make us feel better.
The tea that dried heather flowers make is strong and very "herbal" and this is what makes it so good when one is in need of a strong cup of tea.
My personal anecdotal experience is that it kicked my lingering cough (I had had for weeks) right to the curb.
For this Heather Flower Tea recipe, we are using dried, food-grade heather flowers from bMAKER.
I linked to the herb kit I have that can be purchased from Amazon.com (I've included the link below).
Heather flowers are very fragrant.
They have a pretty, floral scent but they also remind me of the scent of the forest, a clean, beautiful forest.
They are pink and the mix that bMAKER has includes the twiggy little branches too, so the mix has brown and green tones too - all beautiful, natural colors.
As quoted from the Heather Flower bMAKER package:
Heather Flowers are a traditional remedy in herbal medicine and a traditional beer making ingredient in Europe.
Beer making?! One of these days I would love to try making beer at home (I've already been making kombucha); I'll be sure to let you know if I do.
Among Heather Flower Tea's health benefits are:
Several years ago, my husband Eric had kidney stones, to the point that he had to have surgery to remove them, if I had known about the health benefits of Heather Flower tea back then, I would have definitely made some for him.
When taking heather flower tea, please keep in mind there are potential side effects associated with this tea and you should not have more than 1-2 cups of tea at a time:
