Meditation Teas

How to Brew

The following meditation tea blends will brew one cup of tea (1 cup of boiling water). Allow the tea to steep in a tea infuser or tea ball for up to 5 minutes, then remove the tea from the infusion. Compost the herbs when you're done.

Chamomile Meditation Tea

• 2 teaspoons dried chamomile

A classic simple but effective. Brew as per standard instructions. Add a spoonful of honey for an extra sweet treat. If you are allergic to rage, a straight chamomile tea may elicit similar symptoms; if so, don't drink pure chamomile tea very ofter, and try to use it in combination with other herbs.

Green Tea with Rose Meditation Tea

• 2 teaspoons green tea

• 1 teaspoon dried rose petals or rosebuds

Brew as per standard instructions. Adding a pinch of something lemony, such as fresh catnip, lemon verbena, or lemon balm, enhances this tea blend nicely.

Chamomile Mint Meditation Tea

• 1 teaspoon dried chamomile

• 1 teaspoon dried mint

Brew as per standard instructions. Add a drop or two of lemon juice to brighten it, if you like.

Mint Rose Meditation Tea

• 2 teaspoon dried mint

• 1 teaspoon dried rose petals or rosebuds

• 1/2 teaspoon dried chamomile

Brew as per standard instructions. Peppermint is the most common kind of mint, but you can use any mint for this recipe. If you have fresh mint available, use about 2 tablespoon of torn leaves. You can also replace the dried roses with approximately 3 medium-sized fresh petals.

Ginger Lemon Meditation Tea

• 1 x 1/4" slice fresh lemon

• 1 x 1/4" slice fresh ginger-root

• 1/2 teaspoon lavender flowers

Quarter the slices of lemon and ginger and place in the infuser with the lavender flowers. Pour a cup of boiling water over it all, and allow to steep for 5 minutes. This makes a stimulating meditation tea, as opposed to more traditional relaxing, calming teas. If the ginger is to much, reduce it by half next time.
