Herbs and Spices -
Add Fragrance and Flavor to Superfoods!

Herbs and spices are must for providing pleasant tastes and aromas to your herbal tea, blends and herbal tea alchemy that your sense of smell and taste will enjoy.

Making a tea with these flavorful herbs and blossoms will enhance your mood and uplift your spirit. We also add them straight to our nut milks that we use to make our shake recipe.

I will often throw a handle of lavender into my nut milk and it gives it an almost exotic taste that takes you to nice places! Fields of lavender in the South of France for example!

Use these herbs and spices with the Chinese herbs and nutritive herbal teas for a nice rounded combination of flavors. It is important that what you eat or drink (in this case) be enjoyable and satisfying to all the senses.

Add these wonderful floral essences and exotic spices to your tea blends and create a magnificent harmony that is true herbal tea alchemy at it's finest.

You basically add them to either:

• Herbal Teas


OR


• Nut Milks

And strain them through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. Use the fragrant, potentized liquid that results!

Top Flavorful Herbs:

2) Mint - of course any kind of mint is wonderful. I love peppermint myself. But you can experiment with all the other mint varieties as well. Like: chocolate mint, pineapple mint, apple mint, spearmint....... Try it with cacao in drinks.

3) Fennel Seed - this is one of my all time favorite flavors. It works well with other herbs too, especially the more floral types. Try it with lavender and cardamom...wow!!

5) Cardamom Pod - coming from the Indian herbs and spices, it is a must in your herbal tea pantry and for use in many herbal tea recipes for it's unique sweetness and smell, I love the smell! You can use the pods or the powder.

7) Lemongrass - a great flavor to add to a herbal tea base in your raw soup recipes, especially a coconut Thai soup. You can sometimes find it fresh in the produce section or can buy it dried.

8) Lavender - this purple flower is one of my favorites for sure. It gives a pleasant lavender burst to a nut milk based shake recipe and it when you make a tea out of it, it turns the water purple!

9) Coriander - great among your herbs and spices, popular in curry's and other Indian foods. It is actually the seed of the cilantro plant but smells slightly different. Has a nice perfumy scent and is a slight herbal stimulant.

11) Lemon Peel - I love to use the rind of lemon to my herbal drinks for a citrus zestiness to a raw chocolate shake or even straight into any dessert recipes.

12) Jasmine Flower - a true exotic! A must in your herbal spice cabinet for its incredible taste and aroma that drifts you off to tropical places.

13) Lemon Balm - also called Melissa, grows prolifically where I live. It is wonderfully lemony and has a calming effect on the nerves, but not too much. It is a nice balance with more stimulating herbs.

14) Lemon Verbena - similar to lemongrass but not quite. This hardy leaf makes a delicious tea and is amazing with other floral blossoms like Jasmine.

15) Wintergreen - there's nothing quite like this green leaf from the mint family. A strong yet refreshing taste combines well with any dessert or morning shake.

16) Anise Seed - similar to fennel but slightly different in taste somehow, I can't quite describe it. The seeds are much smaller than fennel so they can also be used straight in your Vitamix blender if you forget to put them in your tea.

Use these herbs and spices in all of your healthy desserts for enhanced flavor sensations.

They can be used to make liquid herbal tea combo's or experiment with using them straight in cacao recipes.
