Teas

Who makes their own tea because I make my own tea, but I've only made a few. Can you guys give me suggestions on what herbs and fruits I should make for tea? 
So far, I gotten chamomile with ginger, lemon, honey, and rose petals. It was surprisingly good.

Blue rass berry, blue berry and mint is good. Lemon and ginger is good for score throats.

Also try lemon grass. Mmmm very good for teas.

Here is an old ancient tea used for many things, but i like to find out the properties by myself how about u?
Navian Tea
Elder berries
Hibiscus
Cherry's or cherry extract (pure)
Anise seed or anise extract (pure)
French Lavender (regular is fine)
Orange peel or orange extract (pure)
Pour boiling water over the mixture and let steep for 5-10 minutes depending on what strength you want. There are a lot of herbs you can use. But sometimes when i make healing tea, i put my hand over the herb mixture or when i pour boiling water over the mixture i focus my intent on enhancing the mixture and making it have healing properties for the kind of herb it is.

I personally love mixing dried fruit with my tea.

One that I absolutely love:
Mixing black tea with dried mango and lemon(Make sure not to put too much unless you like it sour lol) is really good. I recommend putting honey or any other sweetener and having it chilled in the fridge before drinking. Its very sweet and satisfying.

Well, I mix black tea or even White tea with any kinds of berries. For example black tea with strawberry or blueberry, it's sweet and it taste extremely good and it has very good benefits as the berries are natural antioxidant, plus you would feel like royalty. I can describe their taste but it's kinda soft and pleasant.

I unfortunately suffer from depressive bouts, so found a few herbs and spices to help as an antidepressant tea, that doesn't fast half bad!

I need to fish the recipe out from my Book for accuracy, but off hand I think it's...

1part. ground cinnamon
2 parts. St. John's Wort
0.25 part cardamom ?? (I can't remember off hand)
Chamomile

I would try dried kiwi and lemongrass with honey. It would be a major antidepressant, and may help with spiritual practices as well...

...Actually that sounds really good.

I'm going to try that. :)

For the record, I don't have the recipe, so I can't help with that one!!!

I do have a basic masala chai recipe, but don't have a great reference for volumes, I just eyeball it...

Ginger
Clove
Cardamom
Cinnamon
Black pepper
Cumin
Mace
Fennel
Allspice
Cayenne
Nutmeg

Most of the times I make my own tea and sometimes I don't. One of the ones I make is pretty strong though I've been told who have tried it like it too.
1tsp. Lavender
1tsp. Chamomile
1tsp. Rosehips
1/2tsp. Echinacea
1/2tsp. Eucalyptus
1/2tsp. Spearmint
Bring water to almost a boil, do not add milk because it could curdle. Add honey or lemon to flavor.
