Instructions
- Boil 1 cup of filtered water. Ensure the water is hot but not aggressively boiling (around 200°F or 93°C) to preserve the delicate properties of the herbs.
- Place the chamomile tea bag, ashwagandha powder, grated ginger root, and licorice root into a large mug or a small teapot.
- Pour the hot water over the ingredients. Cover the mug or teapot immediately with a small saucer or lid to trap the beneficial steam and volatile oils.
- Allow the tea to steep for a minimum of 5 minutes, or up to 10 minutes for a stronger, more therapeutic brew. Longer steeping extracts more adaptogens.
- Strain the infusion through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean mug if using loose ingredients. Discard solids.
- If using, stir in the raw honey until dissolved. Sip slowly, focusing on deep, calming breaths, preferably in the evening or during a known stressful period.
Notes
This tea is best consumed once daily, ideally 1-2 hours before bed, as part of a broader stress-reduction and weight-management plan. Consult with a healthcare provider before adding new supplements, especially if pregnant or taking prescription medication.
