Nervine Tonic
Nervine tonics are used to revitalize and support the health of the nervous system, addressing chronic stress, fatigue, or burnout. These herbs work gently over time, helping to rebuild strength and improve the nervous system’s response to daily challenges. Examples include oatstraw (Avena sativa), ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), and gotu kola (Centella asiatica). Nervine tonics are particularly useful for individuals recovering from prolonged stress or nervous exhaustion, offering a steady and nourishing approach to long-term nervous system health.

Midsummer Chill Tea Blend
Hibiscus forms the vibrant, ruby-red heart of this blend—its tart, fruity brilliance uplifted by a kiss of orange peel sunshine. Cooling peppermint offers refreshing relief, while soothing demulcents like marshmallow root soften and moisten from within. Every sip is a midsummer breeze—reviving, heart-opening, and deeply quenching.
Whether poured over ice beneath a blazing summer sky or sipped warm as the light of day fades, Midsummer Chill is your herbal companion for radiant hydration and seasonal ease.
Ingredients:
Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Peppermint (Mentha × piperita), Orange Peel (Citrus sinensis), Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis), Stevia Leaf (Stevia rebaudiana), and Love (Concordia animas)
Precaution: Peanut allergy
Hibiscus flowers are often intercropped with peanuts. Occasionally fragments of peanut shell can be present.
Brewing Notes: A Sip of Herbal Wisdom
While both hot and cold preparations are lovely, cold infusion is the preferred method for this blend—especially to honor the soothing qualities of marshmallow root. As a mucilaginous herb, marshmallow offers its moistening, comforting properties most generously in cool water, where gentle steeping preserves its full demulcent magic.
This slow, cool steep also mellows the tartness of hibiscus and lets peppermint shine with refreshing clarity—creating a smooth, balanced infusion that deeply hydrates and calms from within.
Let the herbs whisper their gifts… cold brew is their love language.
Brewing Instructions (cold method recommended):
Use 1 TBSP of tea per 6–8 oz of boiled water.
Steep for 5–15 minutes.
Sweeten if desired.
For large batches:
Use the full 1.76 oz (50 g) bag in 1 gallon of boiled water.
Steep for 15–20 minutes, then strain.
Serve chilled over ice with a slice of lemon for an extra kick.
Refrigerate and enjoy within 3 days.
Cold Brew Option (for an extra-smooth sip):
To make a gentle, tangy infusion without the heat, steep 1 TBSP of tea per 6–8 oz of cool or room temperature water.
Cover and let it steep in the refrigerator for 6–12 hours—overnight is perfect.
Strain and enjoy over ice. The flavor is softer, the tartness mellowed, and the hydration supreme.
For a larger batch:
Use the full 1.76 oz (50 g) bag in 1 gallon of cool water.
Cover and let steep in the fridge for 8–12 hours, then strain and serve.
Cold brewing is a slower magic—but the result is silky, deeply refreshing, and perfect for hot days when you want your herbs to whisper, not shout.
