Prep Time: 
5 to 10 minutes, plus 1 hour steep time.
Number of Servings: 
Makes one 16 oz serving.

Ingredients

  • Basic Version

    • 2 Tbsp oat straw (soothing nutrition)
    • 1 Tbsp linden leaf and flower (gentle relaxation and moistening)
    • 1⁄2 tsp shatavari (hormone, libido, and stress support)
    • 2 tsp fennel seed (flavor)
    • 1⁄8 tsp nutmeg (flavor)
    • 2 tsp or a sprinkle of rose petals/buds (flavor)

  • Optional Additions

    • 1⁄4 tsp beet powder (pink color, sweetness, libido support)
    • 1⁄2 to 1 tsp damiana (calming, uplifting, hormone and libido tonic)
    • 1 tsp tulsi/holy basil (calming yet energizing, uplifting, flavor)
    • 1 Tbsp marshmallow root (cut/sifted, not powdered) (moistening, subtle sweetness)
    • 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract (flavor, sweetness)

Directions

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a 16-ounce container. Cover with just-boiled water.
  2. Steep for at least 1 hour, though several hours (or overnight or throughout the day) is even better.
  3. Strain, squeezing out all the mucilaginous and nutritious goodness, and sip hot or cold, plain or with added sweetener and creamer. Oat milk with honey or maple syrup is quite nice.

Notes

If you are allergic to oats, you can leave the oat straw out or add in marshmallow leaf or root in its place.
