How to Make Organic Wellness Tea - Hot or Iced

Our Organic Wellness Tea blends rosehip shells, licorice root, hibiscus and rose petals into a ruby-red herbal infusion — tart, gently sweet, and naturally caffeine-free. It's just as good on a slow morning poured hot as it is chilled over ice on a warm afternoon. Here's how to brew it both ways.

What You'll Need

  • Loose leaf herbal tea — we use our Organic Wellness Tea, a blend of rosehip shells, licorice root, hibiscus and rose petals
  • Freshly boiled water and a teapot or infuser
  • Honey, to sweeten (optional)
  • For serving iced: an ice cube tray, fresh mint and a slice of lemon

Two Ways to Brew It

1

The Comforting Hot Tea

3–5 minutes

A soothing cup any time of day:

  1. Add 1 heaped teaspoon of Wellness tea to your teapot or infuser.
  2. Pour over 250–300ml of freshly boiled water.
  3. Infuse for 3–5 minutes — the longer it steeps, the deeper the ruby colour and the tartness from the hibiscus and rosehip.
  4. Strain and enjoy as is, or sweeten with honey to taste.
2

The Refreshing Iced Tea

brew, then chill a couple of hours

Make the tea as you would normally, then let it cool right down:

  1. Brew as above — 1 heaped teaspoon per 250–300ml of boiling water, infused for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Strain and let the tea come to room temperature.
  3. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
  4. Enjoy straight from the fridge as is, or pour over ice with a sprig of mint and a slice of lemon.

Tips for a Better Cup

Freeze a portion for tea cubes. Pour a little of the brewed tea into an ice cube tray and freeze. Use these instead of plain ice for your iced tea, so it stays full-strength as they melt.
Adjust the steep to taste. A shorter steep gives a lighter, gently sweet cup; the full 5 minutes brings out more tartness from the hibiscus and rosehip.
Lovely any time of day. Naturally caffeine-free, Wellness is a gentle choice for the evening as well as the morning.
Try it with berries. Add a few fresh or frozen berries to your glass for a fruity twist alongside the mint and lemon.
