Deidre’s Peace of Mind Tea Recipe

From: GOOD THINGS

Following is Deidre’s favorite tea blend to help her stay relaxed regardless of how hectic things might be, on or off the set. This recipe is naturally caffeine-free, but adding ¼ cup (about 2 oz) of loose green or black tea leaves will give caffeine lovers that extra kick.

Yields: 16 cups

Ingredients:

  • 3 teaspoon dried chamomile
  • 3 teaspoon dried rosehips
  • 3 teaspoon dried lemongrass
  • 3 teaspoon dried mint
  • 3 teaspoon dried hibiscus
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon

Note: If using fresh leaves or flowers, use 1 tablespoon instead of 1 teaspoon.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 250° F.
  2. Wash and dry orange and lemon. With a vegetable peeler, remove only outer peel, not white pith. Cut peels into very small pieces; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet. Dry in oven 20 minutes.
  3. Add dried citrus peel pieces to dried herbs; toss to combine. Transfer mixture to airtight container.
  4. Add 1 tsp of blend to a tea ball and tea strainer.
  5. Pour boiling water over tea leaves and let steep for five minutes. Discard or compost used tea leaves.
