Spring Fever is Delicious

The candles are shimmering, there’s soft music playing in the background and romance is in the air. Spring is here! After the delicious dinner that you have prepared from our Healthy Recipes page, try one of these love potions to spark the mood.

Crimson Love Tea

This potion has beautiful color and exotic flavor. Serve steaming hot on a chilly night, or it's great iced for romantic adventures in warmer weather

2 parts hibiscus flowers
1 part chamomile flowers
1 part fennel (fresh leaves, stalks, flowers and seeds)
1 part rose hips (organic)
1/2 part star anise
1/4 part rose petals (organic)
1/4 part tangerine slices (organic)

Combine all herbs in a pot, and cover with boiling water. Stir well, cover, and steep 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with a little honey or maple syrup, if desired, as it's pretty "tangy" otherwise.
