N.O.R.A. + Loose Leaf Tea Blend



N.O.R.A. + Loose Leaf Tea Blend
The classic womens tea blend, with the goodness of Rose Hips & Honeybush. N.O.R.A. is an acronym for Nettles, Oatstraw, Raspberry Leaf, and Alfalfa. The + is rose hips & honeybush, for their delightful full bodied taste, Vit. C, antioxidants, and to uplift your spirit. This blend has been traditionally used to support women’s health especially during times of fertility and pregnancy, to support mineral absorption, and overall vitality.
We recommend raw, local, honey to lightly sweeten it, or maple syrup. If you love the taste and iron support, go with Black Strap Molasses (not my fav for this). Do not use artificial sweetener. My favorite is warm, unsweetened, with a squeeze of lemon. It’s a great all day sipper. Caffeine free. Organic. Delish!
To use, add 1/4 c. loose leaf tea to a french press- I use an 8-cup French press (means it will hold about 4 cups of water, and make 8 (4-ounce) servings). Or use a glass quart mason jar, and pour 4 cups of boiling water over it- you don't have to measure the water, you can just pour over and fill to the top, and cover it. Make it before bed, or in the morning, so it can steep for at least eight hours. Strain, and enjoy for up to three days, storing leftover tea in the fridge. I like making a big batch so you only need to make it once every three days. You can reuse the herbs to make another, weaker, tea infusion. If you want to warm it up, gently heat it up on the stove. Enjoy!
