I love tea, all varieties, and all flavors. Here is a list of all of the brews, combinations, and blends that I have come up with personally that I enjoy. If you’re not partial to herbal teas, I please ask you to try to acclimate yourself. Their health benefits are impossible to ignore, and their flavors when mixed with natural sweeteners like pure maple syrup, agave nectar, or pure flower honey are much better than any drink out there. Tea drinking, though maybe cliche, is definitely canonical of the pagan lifestyle.
Remember, when making tea, try to use purified water. Spring water is most always tap water in disguise. Keep fluoride, arsenic, lead, mercury, and chlorine out of your teas. :(
Reminder: As with any herbal supplement or tea used for consumption, please do research if you are unsure of ingredients. I am no health official. These are my own personal teas that I love for recreational pleasure and remedial relief.

These herbs are great for their own reasons. Lavender/Peppermint relaxes muscles and the body, Clove affects the nerves and numbs them, Catnip is mildly sedative in humans, white willow bark is nature’s true aspirin, green tea clears up muscle stiffness, and if you can get your hands on legal marijuana, it is nature’s powerful pain relieving herb, though a focus-dismantling psychoactive drug when abused recreationally outside of medicine.
