DIY Tea Blends
These recipes are a fun, natural way to make sure your next cup of tea is just that, your cup of tea! You will need loose tea leaves as a base, which you can find at specialty tea stores or you can cut open store-bought tea bags. Fill empty tea bags or tea ball with 1-2 tbsp of each mixture, steep, and enjoy! Try a cup with our Cherry Almond bars for a great start to your day or a quick pick-me-up.
