Are you a tea drinker?
We are! We love all manner of tea in this family, be it hot or cold.
I especially love making tea mixes with home grown ingredients. The freshness, the flavor, the purity, not to mention the medicinal properties/health benefits.
I do many simple mixes, with just one or two ingredients, but I have a few more complex mixes, that are our favorite.
Here is one of my go to concoctions.
It’s quite versatile, so I will also note substitutions.
Apart from the rosehips and cinnamon, all other ingredients are easily homegrown in my climate (Zone 9b.)
Note that all ingredients are fully dehydrated!

Notes

Package the mix in little paper or cellophane bags with a bow, for a sweet gift.
And for extra yummies – add 1 part organic gummy bears.
Yep, I know. Somewhat unexpected. The gummy bears work best when preparing the tea in a tea pot on a tea light stand. It gives the gummies more time to dissolve.
