How to Make Your Own Apple and Rhubarb Herbal Tea

A refreshing fruity herbal tea that can be served hot or cold. The apples give this tea just the right amount of sweetness that no additional sweeteners are needed.

The only tricky part about blending your own teas is figuring how much of each item to add. It’s mostly trial and error and personal preferences.

Ingredients

• 3 parts dried apple

• 1 part dried rhubarb

• 1 part dried lemon thyme

• 1/2 part dried lime or lemon balm

• 1/4 part dried lemon grass

• 1 stick cinnamon

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients well, crumbling herbs well.

2. Transfer to a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.

3. Store for up 6 months to a year. Of course, as long as it remains completely dry, this blend can be safely stored indefinitely; however, the flavor will start to deteriorate significantly after 6 months to a year.

4. Brewing Instructions

5. Use 2 to 3 tsp of tea mix per cup of boiling water.

6. Allow to steep, covered for 5 minutes or longer for stronger flavor.
