Herbal Roots, Leaves & Flowers I Keep For Daily Tea
17
items I don't buy big supplement bottles. I just keep small jars of dried roots, leaves and flowers in my kitchen. I use them for warm tea, not to replace medicine. Just my daily habit when I don't want coffee

ROOTS - Warm & Earthy
I keep this always. When it rains, I boil 3-4 slices with hot water for 5 minutes. Spicy, warm in throat. Not like instant ginger sugar that is too sweet.

The color is very strong yellow, so I only use half a teaspoon. I usually mix it with ginger and a pinch of black pepper. I like it in the morning, not at night. The powder dissolves fast but can stain the cup, so I stir well. If you never tried it b...
Turmeric Root: Powders, Capsules, & Extracts
his one is bitter if you use too much, so I only use 2 thin slices per cup. I steep it for about 4 minutes, no longer. I drink it when I need to focus for work, not every day. The slices are hard and light brown, you can reuse one slice for second st...
Red Ginseng Root Slices
I use this to make my tea a little sweet without adding sugar. One small stick is enough for one cup for me. Taste is sweet but also a bit earthy. I don't use it too often in one day, just one stick at a time. You can cut the stick into smaller piece...
Licorice Root
It smells like ginger but with more citrus note. I use it mostly for cooking, but sometimes I put a few slices into tea with lemongrass. Taste is sharper than ginger. If you like ginger but want something a bit different, this is worth trying in smal...
Galangal Root
The smell is very strong and earthy, not everyone likes it alone. So I always mix it with flower tea to soften the smell. I use it only at night, about one teaspoon and steep for 5 minutes. Because the smell is strong, a small bag lasts long for me.

LEAVES - Light & Everyday Tea
Light green tea, softer than green tea from store. I drink it in the afternoon. I learned not to boil it too long, 2 to 3 minutes steep is enough, or it turns bitter. The leaves are small and light, easy to strain. If you like light everyday tea, thi...
Moringa Leave
My favorite for smell. It smells like vanilla and warm rice. I put one long leaf into hot water, or sometimes into rice while cooking. The taste is not strong, mostly aroma. The dried leaves keep their smell for long time if you keep them closed.
Buy Pandan Leaves for Cooking and Tea
Very refreshing, hot or cold both work. On hot days I make it cold with ice and it feels fresh after meal. I also have a small pot at home, but dried one is more practical when traveling. It crumbles easily, so I use a small strainer.
Organic Mint - 0.5oz - Good & Gather
My grandma used to make this. I make light brown tea, not too strong, 3 to 4 leaves per cup. Taste is a bit like black tea but lighter and a bit astringent. I use whole leaves, not powder, so I can see the quality. If you like mild tea, you can try t...
Dry Guava Leaves
Citrus smell, I like mixing this with ginger. I boil it for about 5 minutes and strain. I drink it without sugar, it already has natural light sweetness for me. Good for afternoon when you feel heavy after lunch. The stalks are easy to cut with sciss...
Buy Dried Lemongrass for Cooking & Tea
Smell is very strong, like kitchen herbs for roasting. So I use only a pinch, mixed with mint, never alone. It can be overpowering if too much. I keep a small jar and use the same jar for cooking and tea. If you like herbal smell, try mixing a tiny a...

FLOWERS - Calm & Night Tea
This is my night tea. Light yellow color, smells like soft apple. I steep exactly 3 minutes, if longer it gets bitter for me. I use about one tablespoon of whole flowers per cup. Whole flowers look pretty in cup and float. If you want calm night drin...
Premium Dried Chamomile Flowers (Bunga Kamomil Kering)
The blue color is natural and very pretty. When I add a few drops of lemon, it turns purple, everyone asks what it is. No caffeine, so I can drink it at night. I use about 5 to 6 flowers per cup. It has almost no taste, mostly color, so I sometimes m...

Sour taste, like cranberry, deep red color. I like it cold with a little honey and ice when weather is hot. Hot version is more sour. I use a small handful and boil short, then strain. If you like sour tea instead of sweet, you might like this.
Thrive Market, Organic Hibiscus Herbal Tea
Very strong perfume smell, so I use just a pinch mixed with green tea or chamomile. Too much makes it taste like perfume and bitter. I keep a very small jar, half ounce lasts me long. If you like floral smell, try a tiny amount first to see if you li...

Similar to hibiscus but more tart and deeper red. I boil it for about 3 minutes only, then strain. I like adding a little brown sugar because it is quite sour alone. The dried petals are big and dark red. If you already like hibiscus, this is worth t...
