It's coming! In fact, for many of us, it's already here.
This week marks the start of some busy, invigorating, stressful, and downright overwhelming days as we plunge headlong into the holiday season. It's going to take some focus to make sure we take care of ourselves, get plenty of rest and give our bodies the nutrition and support we need to carry us through the coming weeks. For me, oatstraw, red clover, and lavender are musts for a nourishing, calming cup of herbal tea! I call this recipe my "Do All The Things" tea blend; it even has a boost of Lemon Balm extract or tincture for a little extra concentrated feel good!
Combine the herbs in a tea infuser, nest, or bag and pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups of boiling water over. Allow to steep for 3-5 minutes. Squeeze in the dropperful of Lemon Balm extract and taste. I find this to be rather sweet, but you may want to add a little honey to taste.
Sit back, put your feet up, and glance over your "to do" list one more time!
