3 Herbal Teas For Fall Sipping

Herbal tea is a wonderful and healthy drink to enjoy during the fall time. It's warm, comforting, and aromatic - and it can help the body adjust to the changing season so that illness and discomfort can be avoided! Today I'd like to share just 3 amazing herbal teas you can sip this autumn season to warm your body and your heart!


Chamomile

This perennial favorite is a wonderful fall-time drink. Chamomile has an earthy yet sweet flavor, aroma, and color that works really well with the season. The name Chamomile is based on the Greek 'Ground Apple' because this flower smells so much like a fresh fall apple!

Chamomile herbal tea can be enjoyed by itself or mixed with milk and honey. Steep for just 6 minutes in hot water to avoid any floral bitter tastes.

Anise

Star anise is a superstar in many fall recipes - but did you know it makes an amazing herbal tea as well? This beautiful seed pod combines sweet and spicy together while also delivering lots of great cold-season healing benefits.

Anise herbal tea can help soothe a sore throat and warm chilled bones, and the scent alone is perfect for this time of year!

Dandelion Root

This earthy, coffee-like herbal tea is a champion among herbalists. It helps detoxify the body, cleanse the blood, purify the organs, and put a smile on anyone's face. Many herbal tea enthusiasts blend roasted dandelion root with chicory to create a comforting and warming herbal tea that replaces coffee.

Dandelion Root comes from the very same 'weed' that grows in most lawns. but it's important to make sure the root you use comes from the right species of plant that is fully organic.

When you experience dandelion root tea you'll be amazed at the unique and rooted flavor it offers!


I hope you'll enjoy some healing herbal tea this season!
