Crafting Perfect Teas with Dried Botanicals: Tips and Recipes

Crafting the perfect cup of tea with dried botanicals is both an art and a science. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or a beverage manufacturer, understanding the nuances of blending dried botanicals can elevate your tea-making experience. Here, we share tips and recipes for creating exquisite herbal teas.


Tips for Making Herbal Teas


1. Choose High-Quality Botanicals

Tip: Always opt for organic, high-quality dried botanicals to ensure the best flavour and health benefits.
Example: Use organic chamomile for a calming tea or peppermint for a refreshing blend.

2. Balance flavours

Tip: Combine botanicals that complement each other. For instance, mix sweet herbs like licorice root with tart hibiscus for a balanced taste.
Example: Blend lavender and lemon balm for a soothing evening tea.

3. Proper Storage

Tip: Store dried botanicals in a cool, dark place in airtight containers to preserve their potency and flavour.
Example: Keep dried herbs like rose petals and calendula in mason jars away from sunlight.

4. Experiment with Ratios

Tip: Adjust the ratio of botanicals to water based on your preference for strength and flavour.
Example: Start with one teaspoon of dried herbs per cup of water and adjust as needed.
