Delicious Hibiscus Tea Mix

Recipe

1 teaspoon of each:

organic hibiscus flower

organic burdock root

organic dandelion root

organic chickweed

Why I like this tea:

Hibiscus is a deep, rich red tea. It’s beautiful!! But for me, hibiscus by itself is too strong. So I needed to create a blend that would cut the taste. This is the blend!

Burdock is an earthy yet somehow light and friendly tea that I can drink all day and all night. Of course I love to eat burdock root also (about 10 grams in a vegetable medley, not a lot, but just some for taste). Although I can drink it alone, it adds heartiness to this mix.

Dandelion root is not something I like on it’s own, but with burdock and hibiscus lending their tastiness, I can handle it fine in this blend. It’s a healthy herb so I like getting it in. Personally I do NOT prefer the taste of roasted dandelion root, so this is not roasted, it’s just regular. But I’m sure if you like roasted then you could add that in for all the roasted goodness you desire!

Chickweed is NOT an herb I’m in love with. It’s kind of straw-tasting. I’d never drink it on its own. However, it’s a healthy herb I’d love to get in, and this mix is perfect for it. Without the chickweed I still find this tea a bit too strong — hibiscus is a very strong flavor and I needed something to cut it and mellow it out. Chickweed fit the bill. But if you like hibiscus and want a more hibiscusy tea, then maybe consider omitting the chickweed.
