TEA TOTALLY… WITH HERBS

Herbal tea is a popular beverage around the world – it’s been used for hundreds of years, claiming health benefits along with a great taste. This warming drink can easily be grown yourself; all you need are a few different herb plants and a reusable tea bag. Making your own is better for the environment as not all tea bags decompose, it’s cheaper and you can get creative with mixing herbs to suit your taste!

Drinking any herbal tea gives you time to sit down, relax and inhale the soothing fragrance. It’s even more rewarding if you’ve grown it yourself. I’ll be using lemon verbena, rosemary, fennel, mint and lavender that I’ve grown in my garden.
