Herbal teas are well-loved for their soothing flavors and wellness benefits. But did you know these floral infusions can be used beyond the teacup? From skincare to cooking, here are five unexpected ways to incorporate herbal tea into your everyday routine, giving you even more reasons to enjoy your favorite blends.
1) Revitalizing Facial Steam
Herbal Tea Used: Breathe Easy (or any calming, aromatic blend) order here
Facial steaming is an age-old skincare technique that opens pores and deeply cleanses the skin. Using herbal tea for this process brings added benefits. Boil water, add tea bags, and let the steam do the magic. Breathe Easy’s eucalyptus and chamomile are perfect for clearing nasal passages and providing a fresh glow to the skin.
- How-To: Boil water, add one or two bags of Breathe Easy, and pour into a bowl. Drape a towel over your head and hold your face a few inches above the bowl. Inhale the calming vapors for five to ten minutes.
2) Herbal-Infused Cooking
Herbal Tea Used: Blue Bliss order here
Adding herbal teas to cooking is a unique way to infuse flavors into dishes. Blue Bliss, with its lavender and butterfly pea flowers, can add a subtle floral hint to rice, soups, or baked goods. It also naturally turns foods into a delightful shade of blue, perfect for a visual pop in your recipes.
- How-To: Brew a strong pot of Blue Bliss, then use the tea in place of water or stock in recipes. Try it in rice for a delicate flavor or in a cake recipe for a unique twist.
3) DIY Hair Rinse for Shine and Strength
Herbal Tea Used: Dream Walker order here
Herbal tea can be an amazing hair treatment. Dream Walker, with its calming blend of rose and lavender, can be brewed and used as a final rinse for hair to add shine, reduce frizz, and promote scalp health.
- How-To: Brew Dream Walker, let it cool, then pour over clean, wet hair after shampooing. Massage it in, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse out for soft, silky hair.
4) Relaxing Bath Soak
Herbal Tea Used: Super Boost (for an energy boost after a long day) order here
Herbal teas can add aromatic and therapeutic qualities to bath time. Super Boost is rich in invigorating herbs like peppermint and ginseng, making it a perfect choice for a bath soak that refreshes and recharges.
- How-To: Brew a strong pot of Super Boost tea, pour it into your bathwater, and soak it for a soothing experience. You can also add loose tea in a sachet directly to your bath for a calming herbal soak.
5) All-Natural Cleaning Spray
Herbal Tea Used: Breathe Easy (or any antibacterial blend) order here
Herbal tea, especially with eucalyptus or mint, can be used to create a natural cleaning spray. Breathe Easy is ideal for this purpose, as it’s gentle yet effective, perfect for cleaning surfaces without harsh chemicals.
- How-To: Brew a strong pot, let it cool, and combine with equal parts white vinegar in a spray bottle. Use this as an all-purpose cleaner on countertops, tables, and more.
