Lemon, Roselle and Black Mulberry Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo loves to brew a flower tea in a quiet moment — partly for wellbeing, partly as a small everyday pleasure. Fresh lemon is bright and fragrant; with roselle and dried black mulberry it makes a ruby-coloured tea traditionally enjoyed to support glowing skin, refresh the spirit, brighten the eyes and help you feel light. Black mulberries are inexpensive yet lovely, and are traditionally valued to nourish liver and kidney, support the eyes and keep hair dark.

Method

1. Put the lemon slices, roselle and mulberries in a pot and rinse once with boiling water.
2. Pour in fresh boiling water, cover and steep 7–8 minutes.
3. Stir in honey to taste and serve.

Nourilo’s Tips

Fragrant and tasty, suitable for young and old, and also a kind choice for supporting the eyes. Pregnant women should not use roselle — use goji berries in its place.
