Individual cup preparation using fresh herbs:
When preparing this blend for an individual cup infusion, in all honesty, I eyeball the amounts. I usually go out into my herb garden and pick a leaf or two of each and steep it in a cup of water. My preferred way is to prepare a whole teapot. In that case, I roughly try to stick to the ratios in the bulk preparation recipe. Here's a video of me making an individual cup of this blend using a mixture of fresh & dried herbs.

Notes

Note on sourcing

When finding your herbs, always make sure to go for the highest quality available. I personally always prefer loose-leaf tea to tea bags (unless I'm traveling). I try to grow as many herbs as I can in my herbal garden, but I do run out from time to time. In those cases, I opt for organic dried herbs.

One of my favorite blends to keep on hand is my Turmeric Ginger Cinnamon Tea it's soothing, flavorful, and packed with anti-inflammatory benefits. And if you're growing your own herbs, don't miss my guide on the Best Way to Harvest Fresh Mint Leaves for Tea it's full of helpful tips to keep your mint plant thriving while you enjoy its refreshing flavor.
