❄️ Today's featured Winter Tea Blend is the Hi

❄️ Today's featured Winter Tea Blend is the High-C Tonic Tea recipe from Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health! You can find this recipe in the 'for children' section, and we love how tasty and immune-supporting it is for this time of the year!

📖 In the book, Rosemary writes, "A wonderfully refreshing blend, this High-C Tonic Tea provides bioflavonoids and vitamin C in an organic, naturally biochelated base so that all the nutrients are readily available for absorption. High levels of vitamins supplied in therapeutic dosages, such as commercial vitamins, may be useful to combat illness, but for daily maintenance, a more naturally occurring dose is better."

Have you tried this recipe for yourself and/or for your kiddos? Do you want to give it a try? Let us know in the comments! 👇
