Echinacea Honeybush, a Cold Season Staple

DSC_0357

 

The immune-boosting powers of Echinacea have been widely publicized.  We blend this dried herb into our South African Honeybush tea to make a delicious infusion with a sweet aroma and a straw-like flavor reminiscent of honey.  Honeybush is a red tea, or Rooibos tea that is healthful, strengthening, and full of Vitamin C, Iron, Potassium, Calcium, and Zinc.  It’s a great “go-to” tea for the common cold.

Here is a great tea blend that can be made as a cold/flu season remedy or preventative tonic: Use about a teaspoon of Echinacea honeybush.  Add a little Ginger tea and Lemon Myrtle, a pinch of cayenne pepper, a slice of lemon, and honey to sweeten to taste.

Cape Town Rooibos is personally one of my favorite teas.  It is a blend of rooibos (which is naturally sweet and aromatic), rose petals and chamomile flower.  Not only is this tea blend gorgeous and delicious, it is good for you too!  The rooibos is great for digestion, tension, and packed with good vitamins and iron.  You can also make a delightful Cape Town Fog by adding steamed milk and vanilla!

Every day we have new teas to try and love.  Come in and try Cape Town Rooibos today!
