This one is new on Steepster….. thank goodness I have good copy and paste skills!

I bought this one because I was looking for a little pick me up. It does have St. John’s Wort on the ingredients list, so that means it is a no no for the gals on BCPs. It is lightly pink in color from the hibiscus, and smells of lemon. I am glad the hibiscus is light, as too much hibiscus can tarten up a tea in a hurry. The lemon definitely comes through in this one. It really is pleasing, and I can just imagine it iced. Yum. Definitely a winner for me….actual rating to come later after a few cups.

Resteep at 10 minutes: Still good lemon flavor. And I do detect the peppermint…it is refreshingly light. The hibiscus is gone in this one, as hibiscus is only good for one steep. I really like this!

Iced tea of the day……

I made this one by my usual iced tea method. No sweetener, because I am weird in that I only like hot tea sweetened. So, I am surprised at the sweetness in this one! It must be the licorice root. I get sweet, lemony, tart, and a slight bit of mint all rolled up into one refreshing drink. (Luckily the hibiscus in this one is very light and not the main player in the flavor profile!) I am a little concerned, though. It is almost 7pm and there is ginseng in this. Am I going to be up all night again?

I will definitely continue to make this one iced. It is yummy!

This was my iced tea of the day. I have to say, the peppermint and lemongrass with the ever so light touch of hibiscus make this a truly refreshing iced tea. No additions. It ranks incredibly high on my list for an herbal. It kind of made me feel full, and I must look into that some more…….. School is out in three days, and it is time to get back into a better routine. This tea might help make it easier to improve the quality and quantity of the food I am eating, which has been less than good during the last, crazy weeks of school.

45 oz For Life teapot, 4 heaping tsp. Vitality , boiling water, 9 minutes, cooled to room temp and iced.

I am pretty sure this one will be up for repurchase. So far it is my favorite herbal. Lemony, slightly fruity with a touch of peppermint and sweetness from the licorice. Maybe it will do something for my mood, too. I am thinking the St. John’s Wort is kind of low in this, but since it tastes so good, I will still call it my happy tea.

I have started to make this iced….. 4 slightly heaping tsp. in my 45 oz. teapot, boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes and allow to cool. Serve over ice.

Very refreshing! Needs no additions. It has a sweet, minty, citrusy taste. Just ordered more!

I brewed this one up today while talking on the phone….needless to say, it had time to cool completely even though I pulled the infuser out at the right time. Rather than just reheat it, I added a few ice cubes. It is really good iced!
