INFORMATION:
Looking for a sippable path to satisfying relaxation? Look no further than Cherry Snap with Ashwagandha. Craft-blended with cut and sifted Ashwagandha root, this tisane has easy-going written all over it. Scientifically known as Withania somnifera, Ashwagandha has long been heralded as a relaxation aid by practitioners of Ayurveda, India's traditional medicine. In fact, the second half of the herb's Latin name, somnifera, actually translates into English as 'sleep-inducing'. Ahh. While the scientific evidence is inconclusive, according to Ayurvedic practice, Ashwagandha also holds characteristics that give it anti-cancer properties, along with the ability to reduce anxiety and improve brain function. Something of a wonder-herb, if ever there was one. In this luscious tisane, we've taken this ancient herb and blended it with a rich combination of dried fruit pieces, leaves, and flower petals to fill out the flavor and add an additional boost of antioxidants. We then added 100% all-natural flavoring for a gentle layer of sweet cherry. The next time you're feeling like a soulful boost of flavor, this is the one to reach for - a perfect cup of harmony. As our Master Taster said on the day it was created, 'If this one doesn't chill you out, I don't know what will.' Be well. STEEPING TIME
SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS:
IDEAL BREWING TEMPERATURE: 100ºC/212ºF
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Pitcher): (To Make 1 Liter/Quart):
Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the herbal tea. Steep for 5-10 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Individual Serving):
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herbal tea. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY: We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today's water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the use of our '1 Cup of Perfect Tea' measuring spoon for best results. Please contact Blue Monkey Tea to place an order.
ANTIOXIDANT BENEFIT: For a greater antioxidant benefit brew longer and use more tea.
