A Blend of Herbs for Summer
My favorite time of the year and for good reason! As the sun shines bright and the days grow longer, I feel my body supported by the warm embrace of summer. Long gone is the winter blues and that slowness that, as a parent, is so hard to embrace. Here are the long days of being outdoors, spending time with friends and drinking cocktails at sunset.
As summer rolls around, I look for refreshing, cooling and relaxing herbs that support me in slowing down enough to really enjoy these days. I’m so excited to introducing Summer Blend, a harmonious fusion of refreshing herbs and fragrant flowers, meticulously curated to capture the essence of this vibrant season.
Prepare for a delicious blend of nourishing herbs
Spearmint
Known for its invigorating and cooling properties, spearmint brings a burst of freshness to the Summer Blend. Rich in vitamins and minerals, this herb stimulates the senses and provides a revitalizing effect, helping you stay energized throughout the long summer days.
Lemon Verbena
With its delightful lemony aroma and flavor, lemon verbena adds a zesty touch to the blend. Renowned for its calming qualities, this herb promotes relaxation, making it an ideal companion during moments of leisure and tranquility.
Jasmine
The enchanting scent of jasmine flowers evokes a sense of blissful summer serenity. In Summer Blend, jasmine enhances the sensory experience, offering an aromatic journey that soothes the mind and uplifts the spirit.
Lilac Flowers
The delicate and fragrant lilac flowers add a touch of elegance to the blend. Not only do they contribute to its enchanting aroma, but they also contain antioxidant and antiviral properties that can support us in staying healthy.
Calendula
It’s like drinking the sun in Summer Blend ☀️. Beyond its beauty (and my deep love for this flower), calendula has soothing properties that can help calm and rejuvenate the body and mind.
Ashwagandha
As always, I like to add an adaptogenic herb to each seasonal blend. Ashwagandha helps the body adapt to stress and supports vitality giving us a harmonious balance between relaxation and rejuvenation and allowing us to make the most of the season.
Embrace Summer and Summer Blend
This carefully crafted blend invites you to savor the essence of summer. Brew a cup of Summer Blend tea –– or better yet, prepare a large teapot to drink all day. Add ice, this is the only time of the year when I feel like my digestive system can handle iced drinks, and allow the aromatic symphony to transport you to a place of serenity. Whether you enjoy it room temperature or over ice, this nourishing elixir will be a delightful companion during your summer adventures.
