CREATE YOUR OWN HERBAL TEA
Creating your own tea is easy, tasty and cheaper than purchasing pre-made herbal tea bags. You can play around with your favourite herbs and get the right tea for you. You can make your herbal tea from fresh herbs from your garden or pot plants, you can have them dried or you can use your ground spices from your local supermarket. My favourite is ginger and lemon, so I either buy fresh ginger and crush or just use my ground ginger from my spice rack.
Again living and eating just the way nature intended. Tea made from ingredients from nature no preservatives no artificial colouring or flavours. Your body loves anything from nature and will thank you for looking after it so well
