A HERBAL TEA IS SIMPLY A TSP OF POWDERED, MIXED DRIED HERBS/SPICES, (OR 2 TSP FRESH FINELY CHOPPED HERBS) PLACED IN A MUG/CUP AND COVERED IN BOILING FRESH WATER, ALLOWED TO STEEP FOR 5 MINS THEN STRAINED.
PLACE YOUR HANDS OVER THE CUP OF STRAINED TEA AND SAY A SIMPLE PRAYER OR WISH, FOR THE TEA TO BRING THE DESIRED ENERGY INTO YOUR LIFE.
THEN ALLOW TO SLIGHTLY COOL AND SIP IT SLOWLY IN AN ACT OF MEDITATION.
THESE ARE TEAS USED AS "MEDICINAL" NOT SERVED WITH CAKES AND SANDWICHES.
ANY NATURAL SWEETENER MAYBE BE USED TO.
TO WARD OFF NEGATIVE ENERGY;
use culinary sage
TO BRING IN LOVING ENERGY
dried orange rind, rose hips, cinnamon, and place a copper penny in the cup before straining.
LUCK AND OPPORTUNITY
lemon or lemongrass with a raw almond again before straining
WEALTH AND ABUNDANCE
1 part ginger and a pinch of both ground cloves and ground nutmeg
COURAGE

Make the tea and find a quiet place to sip it...all the time reflecting on the healing energy coming into your being.
Take time out for this practice and you WILL begin to understand yourself and your precious place in this Universe.
These basic ideas are ways of using natural oils and essences of flowers and plants to create a more harmonious atmosphere in your home and maybe office.
You may us an oil infuser or water aromatherapy burner or simply oil infused incense sticks/cones.

I have learned from past classes with students and human nature, that there is absolutely no reason or need to go out and buy expensive blended oils or fragrances.
Use whatever plants, spices and herbs are available to you.
It is your INTENTION that matters, not the amount you spend on any ingredient and the best intentions come from the heart.
Be well and allow Mother Earth to become whole as you do.
