Uplifting Herbal Iced Tea Blend

Published by Brooke Aichroth on

This summer was filled with many adventures out to the mountain, coast and friend’s herbal farms. I’ve been blessed to have had some time to get lost in the hills and connect deeper with the plants. I had the opportunity to explore more with my handcrafted herbal tea blends and share with friends and loved ones. Each blend I explored seemed to be more delicious and uplifting than the last. The one I want to share today seemed to be particularly effective at elevating mood and overall tone.

If we want to tap into the science behind this tea it’s a lovely, balanced blend of herbal energetics with a mix of warming, cooling, dry and moist herbs. The warmer herbs are rosemary, peppermint and gingko and all are mildly stimulant and will greatly effect the mental/emotional. Ginger is warming as well and is an amazing anti-inflammatory that really gets things moving. Albizia is cooling and sweet which nourishes our body and mind. Hibiscus is also cooling with an amazing effect on the heart and lowering blood pressure. Marshmallow is cooling and moistening and works well for especially hot and irritated tissues. This combination will bring balance to the physiology while also making you feel great. A reminder that when our organs are being nourished properly, that balance effects our brain. The mind and body are one. It can be hard to find peace when your body’s constituion is out of balance. So this tea aims for an overall balance in tone and energy. It’s a win/win scenario and delightfully sweet with some honey added!

Examining this tea on a human energetic level, we find that we have herbs assisting with mental/emotional function, heart health, tissue repair and circulation assistance. This allows harmony to flow while your body is at ease and your mind receives a gentle boost. When I drink this tea I feel a beautiful, harmonious effect. It’s feels like the wirey, constant thoughts settle down and float away, my body no longer feels tight or tense, and my heart is more open to giving and receiving love. I’ve noticed I’m more cognizant of the beauty around me and feel more connected to nature and loved ones.
