Ingredients
Scale
Herbal Mix
- 2 tablespoons dried chamomile
- 2 tablespoons dried peppermint
- 2 tablespoons dried ginger
- 2 tablespoons dried eucalyptus leaves
Sweetener
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Combine Herbs: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried chamomile, peppermint, ginger, and eucalyptus leaves thoroughly to create an even herbal blend.
- Form Tea Bombs: Add the honey to the mixture and mix well to help bind the herbs. Shape the mixture into small, compact balls using your hands, making sure they are firm enough to hold their shape.
- Dry the Bombs: Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a clean surface. Allow them to air dry at room temperature for 24 hours to solidify and lose excess moisture.
- Store Properly: Once completely dried, transfer the tea bombs to an airtight container to preserve freshness. Store them in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
- Use: To prepare the tea, steep one tea bomb in a cup of hot water for 5 to 10 minutes until fully infused. Adjust steeping time to taste.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your preference.
- Use fresh, high-quality dried herbs for better flavor and effectiveness.
- Store the tea bombs in an airtight container to maintain potency and prevent moisture absorption.
- These tea bombs can be prepared in advance and stored for up to 3 months.
