Vita-C Tea 4 oz

Description

Directions: Pour 1 cup of just boiling water over 1 teaspoon of herb mixture. Allow to steep for 15-20 minutes. For a more powerful infusion during illness simmer 2 teaspoons of tea in 2 cups water in small pan on stovetop for 20 minutes. Sweeten to taste.

This is one of my favorite blends. Fruity, flowery, and lemony all in one. Vitamin C is so crucial to our very lives. It’s a powerful antioxidant and helps the body form and maintain connective tissue. Vitamin C helps to repair and regenerate tissues, protects against heart disease, aids in the absorption of iron, and decreases total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides. It can help protect against various cancers. Vitamin C may also lessen the duration and symptoms of a common cold and support healthy immune function. I take extra Vita C when battling a bladder infection.

This tea includes several well-known high-in-vitamin-c herbs such as:
Elderberries
Hibiscus
Rosehips
Staghorn Sumac
The base of of the tea is Nettles which is excellent for supporting a healthy immune response.
