Tea is more than a beverage, it’s an herbal remedy.

This quote describes it well:

Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage. ~Okakura Kakuzō

Tea is a perfectly simple way to access the health benefits of herbs.The quiet ritual of preparing and sipping a cup of tea is a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful practice.

Creating your own tea blends is easy and much less expensive than buying some of the pre-made bags at the store.

Homemade tea also makesa delightful herbal gift.

Below you’ll finda bunch of recipes you can make in your own kitchen, plus some simple solutions that make it easy.

Oh, and if you’re going to make your own tea, you might want one of these little beauties:

This ForLife Stump Tea Pot is usually used for loose tea, but also works with tea bags. It holds about 18 ounces and makes approximately two-three cups of tea. It’s perfect for one or two people. I love it. See my full tea collection here.

How to Make the Perfect Cup of Tea @ A Delightful Home

5 Resources to Helpmaking
Your tea recipes simple

1-STAINLESS STEEL TEA KETTLE

Tea kettles have long been used to keep water heated for a quick cup anytime of the day. But, these delightful colors now available really brightens up the kitchen and tea prep time.

2-STAINLESS STEEL MESH STRAINER TEA BALL

By simply adding your mixed herbal tea recipe into the mesh balls, and placing in your tea pot, or tea cup you can steep your tea andkeep the leaves separate. Remove the ball when you are finished steeping for a delightful, peaceful cup of hot tea anytime.

3-STAINLESS STEEL TEA FRENCH PRESS

I hear it work well for coffee too, but a french press allows the full flavor of the herbs to steep in the hot water, then when you are ready, simply push down the strainer to separate the herbs and pour your tea for a delicious, relaxing blend of your favorite recipe.

4-SILICONE REUSABLE TEA BAGS

These silicone tea bags are delightfully affordable! Simple to use, you can make up a few ahead of time, for a quick cup of tea throughout the day. Because they are reusable you can simply rinse under warm water to wash, let dry, then refill with your favorite tea recipe blend.

5-English Tea Strainer

If you want that old-world experience for an afternoon tea time, then, an English Tea Strainer is a must. Simply spoon your tea leaves into the strainer. Set atop your tea cup, pour your hot water over the top. Allow the water to fill into the strainer, let steep for a few moments, remove the strainer and enjoy your afternoon tea.

Do you still prefer pre-made teas?

That’s OK… sometimes, I do too. Which is why I use the Art of Tea, they have some awesome tea flavorings. Plus, if you utilize my special referral link, you’ll receive a $10 credit.

Mountain Rose Herbs also has some wonderful tea blends, including these lovely flowering teas.
