I know I love it. [grin]

hi all! i thought i'd chime in & share! i like the celestial seasonings herbal line of teas. the fruity ones are especially tasty. i've liked all the ones i've tried & there are a few i'd like to but they aren't currently sold in the stores in my area. i especially like the holiday flavor sugar plum spice & the sleepytime extra wellness tea. the sleepytime extra works great too!

Hey lileasluna!

I like a lot of Celestial Seasonings too but I've noticed they've tinkered with some of the flavors. ÂÂ*

My absolute favorite was Tangerine Dream. ÂÂ*It was great! ÂÂ*You could make a cup and smell it ten feet away. ÂÂ*[lol] ÂÂ*Now they add orange to the mix and it completely kills the taste and smell. ÂÂ*Blandest stuff I've ever tasted. ÂÂ* ÂÂ*

OOOOOOO! Yes! I have some of that right now - it is good!

I have a favorite tea that is a recipe that we've been making since I was a child. ÂÂ*It has a lot of ingredients and it makes a lot of tea, so I bring it in and share it with my co-workers, it's good hot or iced. ÂÂ*Nice and relaxing with a good book in the winter on the couch or laying on the lounge chair in the hot sun.

I've also included a brief description of the properties of each herb.

Herbal Tea

Mix all of the following and use about a teaspoon of the mixture in 6-8 ounces of very hot water, let steep for 5 minutes.

* 1 handful Lemon Verbena ÂÂ*or Lemon Grass ÂÂ*or Dried Lemon Peel

* 1 handful Lemon Catnip ÂÂ*or regular Catnip

* 1 handful Red Raspberry leaves

* 1 handful Red Cover blossoms

* 1 handful Spearmint leaves

* 1/2 handful Peppermint leaves

* 1 large handful Chamomile flowers ÂÂ*also spelled Camomile

* 1/2 handful Chickweed

* 1/2 handful dried Nettles

* 1 handful Lemon Balm

Lemon Verbena is for strength and purification, but is also for flavor.

Lemon Grass adds a lemon flavor and is helpful for developing psychic abilities.

Dried lemon peel be substituted for flavor too and is for friendship, gaining favors & success and attraction to the brew.

Lemon Catnip is for flavor but regular Catnip (Nepeta cataria) can be used. Both are calming, relaxing, and have wonderful magical attributes: promote beauty and mirth, draw positive energy toward you. Medicinally, they are both calming, relaxing, aid digestion, and are said to be very mild stimulants of menses.

Red Raspberry is very protective and strengthening, especially for strengthening intuitive powers. It is also used medicinally to treat diarrhea and there is evidence to support its use in treating painful menstruation and painful childbirth.

Red Clover is for grounding without causing you to 'come down' psychically or emotionally. It is a powerful strengthener for magic and for psychic skills and has extremely powerful protection qualities, particularly protection against baneful spells being used against you. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals.

Spearmint is another flavor ngredient, but also adds the properties of enhancing mental powers, healing and protection. Spearmint can relieve gas pains and aids digestion.

Peppermint is another flavor ingredient, but also adds the properties of enhancing memory and psychic powers, healing and protection. Peppermint can aid digestion and ease gas pains.

Chamomile or Camomile is a flavoring ingredient which adds the magical attributes of purification, attraction, and protection. Chamomile is medicinally relaxing and calming ÂÂ*and acts as an anti-inflammatory. It is used to treat mild arthritis, aches & pains, swelling, and cramps.

Chickweed strengthens magical energy and promote attraction and balances the magickal properties of nettles and may be a mild anti-inflammatory and cough suppressant. Itis a good source of vitamins and minerals.

Nettles strengthens magickal energy, are extremely protective, aid in healing, and balance out the magickal properties of chickweed. Nettles are an excellent source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, proteins, and iron and are a good source of many other vitamins and minerals. It may reduce body odor and bad breath as they are high in chlorophyll.

Lemon Balm is another flavoring herb which is also added for its magickal abilities to heal, promote attraction and to help gain favors & success. It is used medicinally to relieve menstrual cramps, calm nervousness, and aid digestion.

Hope some of you will try it and enjoy.
