*From our weekly series: The Sunday Steep*

Some weeks are busy weeks full of long days and late nights! While I am not really a caffeine junky, I do like my cup or two of coffee brewed with [cacao nibs](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cacao-nibs-roasted-organic-and-fair-trade/profile) every morning. On weeks like this past one, however, where we are visiting with lots of people, going to events far and wide, and still putting in a good day's work, I tend to reach for tea more than coffee throughout the day. I think my nerves and senses respond well to the calming ritual of tea, it helps to keep me hydrated, and it's a small way to pay attention to my body's needs when the wild world is calling!

This tea recipe is made up of some of my very favorite herb friends...

## The Extrovert's Balancing Tea Blend

- 1 Tablespoon organic [Skullcap](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/skullcap/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Lemongrass](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lemongrass/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Raspberry Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/raspberry-leaf/profile), [Strawberry Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/strawberry-leaf/profile), or [Blackberry Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/blackberry-leaf/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Sage Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/sage/profile)
- 1/2 teaspoon organic [Red Clover](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/red-clover-herb/profile)
- 2-4 organic dried whole [Rosebuds](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/rose-buds-whole/profile)

Combine all the herbs in a tea [infuser, nest, or bag](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/teas/accessories). Pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups of boiling water over and allow to steep for 3-4 minutes. I like this tea as is, but you could add a little honey or lemon to taste if you like a sweeter tea. Feel free to multiply, if you'd like to make a whole pot!
