Homemade Tea~~

Many a time I peep into our tea drawer, and we are either out of our favorite kind, or I just want something different. So.....I began experimenting with herbs etc.... and happened upon these three recipes~


Have any of your heard about the Homestead Blessings dvd's? Well, we've bought every single one of them, and they are just wonderful! In their herbal dvd, they make a wonderful mint tea that is perfect either hot or cold! Go HERE to read more/buy it.

They have a little "promo" clip of it, and it just happens to be on the mint tea! So if you would like to watch that, go HERE.


Also, another favorite is the Lemon Honey Ginger tea! It almost tastes like a hot lemonade.

2 TB. Ginger (Just take of two knobs and peel.......do not shred/etc.... you want the pieces to be a good size.
5-6 Cups Water

Boil this mixture in a pot until the water starts to turn a yellowish color. When it comes to this stage~

Get about 5 mugs/teacups and spoon into each, a mixture of:

3 TB. Lemon Juice
2 TB. Honey

Then just mix, and pour your ginger water into your 5 mugs!

Note...This has a tendency to cool quickly! So drink fast! :D :D :D


And my 3rd recipe is--

My version of good tea: ;-)

Make yourself a nice mug of either earl grey or black tea, and add to it:

3 TB. Milk (Non dairy milks may be used instead)
1 TB. Honey
1/8 tsp. Vanilla extract (optional)

This is SO yummy!!


Have fun making teas!
