How to make your own\u00a0“Happy Tea”<\/strong>:

You will need:\u00a0<\/strong>
green tea (teabag or looseleaf)
5 to 8 dried lavender flowers
3 lemon balm leaves (If you grow lemon balm, you should still have some pretty green leaves in the winter.)
A 12 fl oz. mug
A tea filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/strong>
Heat water to almost boiling. Pour it in the mug with the tea and the herbs.  Cover it with a plate and let steep 5 minutes.  Pour it through a filter into another mug. It’s ready to drink! No sugar is needed, but if you want add a little honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both lavender and lemon balm have traditionally been used to lift your spirits!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
