Shatavari Rose Libido Vitality Tea
-
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)
- Combine dry ingredients in a 16-ounce container. Cover with just-boiled water.
- Steep for at least 1 hour, though several hours (or overnight or throughout the day) is even better.
- 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.
