After Supper Tea Blend ꩜ - Lettuce Grow

The post-dinner settle.

DIGESTION ꩜ · READY IN 7 WEEKS

Your garden makes tea now. Snip a small handful of herbs, steep them fresh, and sip something no tea bag can touch. Fresh herbs brew brighter and more aromatic, with flavor straight from the garden.

The Blend

2 parts fennel fronds · 2 parts spearmint · 1 part Thai basil

We measure in parts so the blend scales with you. Whether you're making one mug or a full pot, just keep the same ratio. The exact amounts for one 14 oz brew are below.

Fennel and mint have long been reached for after a heavy meal, one sweet and warming, the other cooling. Thai basil's anise doubles down on the fennel without adding weight, so the cup reads lighter than it is.

How to Brew

SNIP

Harvest the herbs and roughly tear or chop the leaves and fronds to release their aromatic oils.

STEEP

Add herbs to your infuser and pour in water just off the boil. Cover and steep for 4–6 minutes.

SIP

Strain and enjoy warm.

In the Cup

Sweet anise and cool mint. Light, clean, and digestif-like.

Good for Your Plants

Spearmint and Thai basil both need regular pruning to stay productive, so harvesting this blend doubles as plant maintenance.
