When the summer heat settles in, especially with high humidity, I start thinking differently about herbs. Hot weather is not just about thirst. It can leave the body feeling drained, heavy, dry, sluggish, or overheated. That is when a simple tea can become part of the daily rhythm, not as a quick fix, but as one more way to support the body while we slow down, hydrate, and pay attention. Some people like cooling teas like mint, lemon balm, hibiscus, or rosehips. Others lean toward mineral-rich teas like nettle, oatstraw, raspberry leaf, or alfalfa. Some like moistening herbs like linden or marshmallow root when the heat feels drying. Others keep it simple with whatever grows close to the kitchen door. I am curious what everyone here actually uses. When the heat gets hot, what kind of herbal tea do you usually reach for? What is your go-to summer tea, and do you drink it hot, chilled, or room temperature?
