A refreshing herbal tea for warm days, busy minds, and gentle cooling support.
This one uses spearmint + lemon balm as the familiar calm/cooling base, but brings in lemongrass, butterfly pea flower, and marshmallow leaf/root so it feels different from your other blends.

Good morning, tea friends.
Todayโs Tea Time Tuesday blend is for those warm summer days when your body feels hot, your mind feels busy, and you just want something that feels refreshing, cooling, and calming.
This weekโs blend is:
๐ช๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
A refreshing herbal tea for warm days, busy minds, and gentle cooling support.
This is the kind of tea I would reach for when I want something light, soothing, and easy to sip โ especially poured over ice.
Todayโs blend includes:
๐ฟ Spearmint โ 1 part Cooling, refreshing, and traditionally used to support digestion and freshen the senses.
๐ฟ Lemon balm โ 1 part A gentle, lemony herb traditionally used to support calm, mood, and nervous system balance.
๐ Lemongrass โ ยฝ part Bright, citrusy, and refreshing with a light summer flavor.
๐ Butterfly pea flower โ ยฝ part A beautiful blue herb traditionally used in tea rituals and often enjoyed for its cooling, calming feel.
๐ฑ Marshmallow leaf or root โ ยฝ part A soothing herb traditionally used to support moisture and comfort in the body.
How to make it:
Add 1โ2 teaspoons of the blend to a cup. Pour hot water over the herbs. Cover and steep for 8โ10 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm, or let it cool and pour over ice.
For an iced version, you can add a squeeze of lemon after steeping. If you use butterfly pea flower, the lemon may shift the color from blue to purple, which makes it extra fun.
Before you sip, ask yourself:

Maybe your body needs cooling. Maybe your mind needs quiet. Maybe your schedule needs breathing room. Maybe your nervous system needs a softer pace. Maybe you simply need one small moment that belongs to you.

๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ: This is for educational purposes only. Herbs can be supportive, but they are not one-size-fits-all. Please check with a qualified healthcare professional if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a medical condition, or unsure whether an herb is right for you. Mint may bother reflux in some people. Lemon balm may not be suitable for everyone with thyroid concerns. Marshmallow root may slow absorption of some medications, so it is often recommended to take it separately from medications. Butterfly pea flower may not be appropriate for everyone, especially during pregnancy or with certain medications.
Your turn: Would you drink this one warm, iced, or with a squeeze of lemon?
Small steps lead to big transformations.
