Immune Boost

Elderberries, echinacea and rosehip are rich in antioxidants and natural Vitamin C, and have long been reached for during the cooler months. Ginger and cinnamon bring warmth and comfort, a familiar pairing in traditional brews. Liquorice root adds natural sweetness, while orange peel lends a citrusy brightness. A touch of stevia leaf rounds out the blend with natural sweetness.

Use 1 heaped teaspoon per cup in 100°C water.

The steep time is completely personal; there's no hard and fast rule on your own personal taste.

• If you like a milder brew, steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• A little bit stronger brew, steep from 1 minute to 5 minutes.
• If you really like a strong brew, steep for as long as you like!

Sweeten to taste with honey, lemon or rock sugar.

Remember, the beauty of loose leaf teas is that the blends can be brewed a few times, although they will be weaker each time.
