Purpose: I created the brew when I was craving Hot Toddies but wanted them to be just a bit better for me and my immune system. This blend does just that with immune system tonics, digestive tonics, warming herbs, and a perfect flavor combo for not just a Hot Toddy, but a Haut Toddy.
Pick me if: You want to easily make the best hot toddy of your life or just want to enjoy a gently immune boosting tea that can hold its whiskey:)
Flavor profile: Citrus, ginger, warmth, comfort
Organic Ingredients: Elderberry, Lemon Verbena, Ginger root, dried Oranges, Lemonbalm, Hibiscus, Sumac berry
Understanding the Ingredients: We often reach for a Hot Toddy when we aren't feeling well and want to show that cold a thing or two. So, let's really show it something. Elderberry brings immune nourishing and antiviral properties while Lemonbalm doubles down on the antiviral nature and brings a hint of citrus. Ginger root brings the warmth while Lemon verbena and Oranges offer citrus and vitamin C. Hibiscus and Sumac assure it's just tart enough while Sumac is surprisingly noted as an even more potent antiviral than Elderberry, just lesser known.
Recipe: 8oz hot water, 1 teabag or 1.5 loose leaf of Haut Toddy. Steep 10 minutes. Add honey, lemon and whiskey to taste. Thank me later.
Not your ordinary teabag: Our hand-made teabags are large since they are a full portion to provide you with the intended benefit and desired support. Each one may be re-steeped several times throughout the day. The brewed tea may also be saved in the fridge over night and enjoyed chilled the following day. They are each handcrafted in perfect measurement within a microplastic free teabag and hand stapled with a stainless steel staple. This is slow craft herbalism with care.
{10 pack is 2.5oz and 3 pack is .75oz }
Loose leaf or bagged are both created in very small batches in our woodland teahouse from thoughtfully sourced ingredients and professionally formulated by Leah, owner and clinical herbalist.
HOW TO BREW:
Bagged: Use 1 tea bag per 12-16 oz of 190ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag. Add more hot water once the cup is finished for a second or third infusion for full benefit.
Loose Leaf: Use 1.5 Tb per 12-16 oz of 190ºF water and steep a minimum of 10 minutes. Ideally pouring off bits of the tea as the rest continues to steep. I really enjoy placing loose leaf in a French press, pouring off the tea to drink, and recovering with more water for a full day infusion of full benefit.
The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be. Add sweetness if you prefer.
Earth first packaging: Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious. The kraft bags holding our teas are 100% recycled and backyard compostable. Our teabags are compostable, as well as the herbs inside, once the staple is removed. They love to return to the earth. We are constantly seeking ways we can do better and lessen our impact.
