Sick of This Sh*t™ | Immunity Tea
Scratchy throat, stuffy head, everyone at home passing something around? This is the tea you make a pot of.
It’s a caffeine-free blend, each herb has a long history in cold-weather and seasonal wellness, and they work better together than alone. It tastes warm and herbal, with ginger and star anise up front, peppermint to keep it fresh and elderflower and rose hips to round off the sharp edges.
When to drink it
At the first scratchy throat. During the weeks the whole house is sniffling. In the evening, since it’s caffeine-free. Many people drink it daily through fall and winter.
Ingredients: Elderflower, peppermint, ginger, yarrow, echinacea, thyme, calendula, rose hips, star anise.
How to brew: [1 tsp] per 8 oz of water just off the boil. Steep [10-15] minutes, covered so the peppermint and thyme stay in the cup, and strain. Honey and lemon are good in it.
What’s in it and why
Elderflower. A traditional cold-weather herb, sipped warm for generations when people feel run down. It adds a light floral sweetness.
Peppermint. Cool and clean. It’s known for easing that stuffy, heavy feeling and settling the stomach, and it keeps the blend from tasting heavy.
Ginger. Warming and a little spicy. It’s traditionally used to soothe a sore throat and calm an upset stomach.
Yarrow. An old folk remedy for the start of a cold, traditionally drunk hot. It’s slightly bitter and earthy, which balances the sweeter herbs.
Echinacea. One of the most widely used herbs for immune health, and a staple of seasonal wellness teas.
Thyme. Traditionally used for throat and chest comfort. It adds a savory, herbal note.
Calendula. A gentle, soothing flower that adds color and a soft, mild flavor.
Rose hips. A traditional source of vitamin C, with a light, tart fruitiness.
Star anise. A warming spice with a licorice-like flavor, traditionally used for coughs and chest comfort.
