Notes:

If you’d like for the tea to be sweeter, you can use honey, agave syrup or brown rice syrup (vegan). Ginger tea is also often made with turmeric, which is beneficial for swelling and inflammation. If you are someone who likes a more refreshing taste, you may like adding mint leaves into this mixture.

You may also sweeten your tea with milk or sugar. Though, too much sugar is not recommended if utilizing the tea for sleep and relaxation. In addition, chamomile mint tea is another way that people enjoy the soothing tea for an extra boost of antioxidants.

 

3. Morning Classic Tea

Notes:

For the leaves to steep effectively, the water should be at boiling temperature and be poured over the leaves as opposed to dropping the leaves into the water. In addition, the amount of sugar you add is totally a personal preference, depending on how you like your tea to taste. Some people add lemon and sweeteners, but if you don’t like your tea having too much sugar, we recommend honey as a healthier alternative. Our Hawaiian Honey Sticks are made with macadamia nut blossoms and are naturally made in Big Island Hawaii.
