Reading over easy detox methods & was just wondering if drinking herbal tea is the same as drinking the lemon juice with hot water. Also would you add sugar to the hot water & lemon juice for taste? The website I looked it up on said that was ok, but I’m not sure. I normally don’t use sugar in my teas, honey yes, sugar no. Thanks
Yes, there is a difference. Lemon juice & hot water is exactly that. Herbal lemon tea is made from grated lemon zest (peeling) and Lemon scented Geranium leaves steeped in hot water. Sweetness is optional.
My daughter wants to do everything I do. I often have herbal tea in the evenings, peppermint or chamomile. There is no harm in allowing her to have some is there?
My nephew loves tea, especially raspberry. His mom lets him drink a whole cup full on his own. He is very healthy, so I would say it’s completely ok. If you’re still weary about it, ask her pediatrician.
Lately i’ve been hearing a lot about the health benefits of drinking green tea and I’d like to start, but i know nothing about it really- like which flavours/brands provide which benefits, and how you brew it, how much you should drink etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
my fav is tescos camomile, lemon balm leaves and aloe vera. its the tescos ‘soothing’ range.
just nip into ur local supermarket, have a look at the tea boxes they generally tell u wat the teas are supposd to do. on top of that it will tell u how to brew them, basically its just a tea bag I usually leave mine in the cup until ive drank it
What herbal tea blend will relieve these symptoms I’m having (while I take care of the root causes?)
Dizziness, tension headaches and very mild anxiety (these are due to back/neck muscle tension/injury), intestinal gas. I also would like mental clarity and energy as I don’t want to feel drowsy.
Is this an okay blend in one cup?
Chamomile (to relax neck muscles and nerves to prevent dizziness/tension headache)
Ginger (to combat dizziness, anti-inflammatory)
Basil (to combat intestinal gas)
??? (What else for clarity and energy?)
Fennel is good for abdominal bloating/indigestion.
You should see a chiropractor for help with your back problems.
Acupuncture can help with relieving pain and promoting relaxation within the body.
Rhodiola Rosea can help with mental clarity and energy. I used to take it when I suffered from chronic fatigue problems. It’s been clinically tested for over 30 years. Make sure you get the Rosea variety.
I really would like some websites involving herbal teas to look at as well as recipes and to know the properties of each herbal tea.
P.S i don’t want links to Crazyfortea website.
Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE this tea, I just started making this one a couple months ago and cannot stop! (This recipe is for a pot, rather than a cup, you can reduce amount of each ingredient if it is only for yourself).

6 Cinnamon Apple tea bags
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 cup grape juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Club soda, chilled, optional
In teapot, pour boiling water over teabags; cover and steep 5 minutes. Remove bags; stir in sugar and cool. In pitcher, combine tea, cold water and juices. If you wish, serve in ice-filled glasses with a splash of soda. Garnish with lemon slices.
