Hold ring and small fingers with thumb, index and middle fingers straight. Arms are straight and parallel from floor, out to the sides with palms forward. Pull shoulders down and neck straight. Begin circling the arms in small circles backwards. Breath is relaxed but deep. Continue for 1-3 minutes with the eyes closed.
BASIL
This “royal plant”, as the Ancient Greeks called basil, came to northern Europe in the 12th century. It has a wonderfully spicy aroma, which is ideally featured in both Mediterranean cuisine and freshly brewed tea.
CHILI PEPPER
Chili peppers are annual plants of the nightshade family that primarily thrive in sunny countries such as Mexico, India, Thailand and Tanzania. Their natural pungency has made them one of the most popular spice plants in the world.
ORANGE PEEL
The orange is the most frequently cultivated citrus fruit in the world. It originally came from Asia and was only introduced to Europe in the 15th century. Its peel contains numerous essential oils and the taste is similar to the fruit pulp in its fruitiness but not quite as sweet and slightly bitter.
Brewing Suggestions
Pour 250 ml of freshly boiled water over the teabag. Allow to infuse for 7 minutes or longer for a stronger flavour. Add milk or milk substitute and sweetener to taste.
