Healing Heart Herbals Special-teas

Here at Healing Heart Herbals we are committed to quality products prepared with love.  Intentionally blended in the wise woman tradition by herbalist Cindy Parker, these teas are a combination of herbs selected for their own individual properties as well as for the synergistic effect when combined. These teas are empowered by the belief that the simple act of brewing plants in hot water, cradling the warm cup in one’s hands, inhaling the fragrant aroma, and sipping that brew with awareness, is relaxing and healing in and of itself as a humble ritual.

We use organically grown herbs whenever possible and support other ethical businesses so as not to endanger wild plant populations, humans or the environment.  We attempt to use plants still found in great abundance, substituting at risk plants with more common ones with similar properties.  All products are made with conscious intention to benefit those who drink them and mother earth who sustains them.  Hope you enjoy these tasty blends.

Recipes

Mulled Wine or Cider

Spice up your next get together with friends.  Simply heat wine or apple cider in a crock pot or pan and add our special blend of spices.  Steep 10-20 minutes.  Stir  fresh squeezed orange or cranberry juice in with the cider for added flavor.

Iced Tea Juice

Any of the Special-teas above also make a delicious cold drink alone or combined with black and flavored tea and juice for those who enjoy a sweeter beverage. These quantities may be adapted to taste, depending upon the sweetness and caffeine content desired.  Increase tea quantities for stronger tea and use just the tea and ½ can frozen juice for sweeter tea. To make 2 quarts I use:

    1 qt. of herb tea, 2-3 heaping T. of herb blend

    ½ qt. black and/or flavored tea, 4 bags total depending on caffeine desired  

    ½ qt. juice, ¼ large frozen can or 2 c. bottled juice (I dilute with water)

Steep tea in boiling water 10-20 minutes.  Strain over ice and juice in 2 qt. pitcher. 

Finish filling with cold water.  Stir and serve. 

#1 – Tranquili-tea, peach tea, white grape peach juice

#2 -Womb’n Magic or Aphrodi-tea, berry zinger tea and apple raspberry juice

#3- Garden Wisdom apple mint tea with apple juice or passion mango

#4- decoct 6 T. of Mother Root tea and pour over ice, add enough water to make 3

       pints, then add a pint of cranberry juice (excellent female tonic)

*Adapt caffeine content and flavor by changing number of black/flavored tea bags
