A refreshing herbal tea for warm days, busy minds, and gentle cooling support.
This one uses spearmint + lemon balm as the familiar calm/cooling base, but brings in lemongrass, butterfly pea flower, and marshmallow leaf/root so it feels different from your other blends.
𝑻𝒆𝒂 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑻𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚: 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒎 𝑻𝒆𝒂 𝑩𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅 🌿🫖
Good morning, tea friends.
Today’s Tea Time Tuesday blend is for those warm summer days when your body feels hot, your mind feels busy, and you just want something that feels refreshing, cooling, and calming.
This week’s blend is:
𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒎 𝑻𝒆𝒂 𝑩𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅 A refreshing herbal tea for warm days, busy minds, and gentle cooling support.
This is the kind of tea I would reach for when I want something light, soothing, and easy to sip — especially poured over ice.
Today’s blend includes:
🌿 Spearmint — 1 part Cooling, refreshing, and traditionally used to support digestion and freshen the senses.
🌿 Lemon balm — 1 part A gentle, lemony herb traditionally used to support calm, mood, and nervous system balance.
🍋 Lemongrass — ½ part Bright, citrusy, and refreshing with a light summer flavor.
💙 Butterfly pea flower — ½ part A beautiful blue herb traditionally used in tea rituals and often enjoyed for its cooling, calming feel.
🌱 Marshmallow leaf or root — ½ part A soothing herb traditionally used to support moisture and comfort in the body.
How to make it:
Add 1–2 teaspoons of the blend to a cup. Pour hot water over the herbs. Cover and steep for 8–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm, or let it cool and pour over ice.
For an iced version, you can add a squeeze of lemon after steeping. If you use butterfly pea flower, the lemon may shift the color from blue to purple, which makes it extra fun.
Before you sip, ask yourself:
𝒲𝒽ℯ𝓇ℯ 𝒹ℴ ℐ 𝓃ℯℯ𝒹 𝓉ℴ 𝒸ℴℴ𝓁 𝒹ℴ𝓌𝓃, 𝓈ℴ𝒻𝓉ℯ𝓃, ℴ𝓇 𝓈𝓁ℴ𝓌 𝒹ℴ𝓌𝓃 𝓉ℴ𝒹𝒶𝓎?
Maybe your body needs cooling. Maybe your mind needs quiet. Maybe your schedule needs breathing room. Maybe your nervous system needs a softer pace. Maybe you simply need one small moment that belongs to you.
The 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲, and 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 for this blend will be available soon on my beacons for sale but free inside April Joy Wellness so you can make the tea, learn the herbs, and reflect on how it feels for you.
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: This is for educational purposes only. Herbs can be supportive, but they are not one-size-fits-all. Please check with a qualified healthcare professional if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a medical condition, or unsure whether an herb is right for you. Mint may bother reflux in some people. Lemon balm may not be suitable for everyone with thyroid concerns. Marshmallow root may slow absorption of some medications, so it is often recommended to take it separately from medications. Butterfly pea flower may not be appropriate for everyone, especially during pregnancy or with certain medications.
Your turn: Would you drink this one warm, iced, or with a squeeze of lemon?
Small steps lead to big transformations.
