Written by Kate Tietje

In honor of fall — which was at its prime when I originally wrote this — I created a fall herbal tea blend that is super delicious and just perfect for those cool mornings…or nights…or really anytime! I just love this, and the kids do, too. It’s naturally caffeine-free, so it’s safe for just about anyone, and it even contains some rooibos tea, which is possibly beneficial for allergies and digestion, among other things. Can we say awesome?

It only takes a few minutes to mix up, stores for at least several weeks and is all-around great. It would even make a nice gift if you have someone in your life who loves gourmet tea but not the prices at which they come. Or maybe just as a gift to yourself…. 🙂

Step 1: Dump everything in a bowl. Mix briefly to combine and store in an air-tight container (I use a glass bowl).
