First Light Tea Blend ☼ - Lettuce Grow

Morning clarity without caffeine

FOCUS & ENERGY  ☼ · COUNTERSTAND-FRIENDLY · 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 spearmint · 1 part lemon balm · 1 part sage

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.

Spearmint sets a crisp, refreshing base. Lemon balm softens the blend with a gentle citrus note, while sage adds a subtle savory finish.

Ingredients

  • 5 tsp spearmint
  • 2½ tsp lemon balm
  • 2½ tsp sage leaves

Instructions

How to Brew

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

STEEP
Add herbs to your infuser and pour in water just off the boil. Cover and steep for 4–5 minutes.

SIP
Strain and enjoy warm.

In the Cup

Crisp mint up front, with savory sage and soft citrus underneath.

Make It Simpler

No sage yet? Brew spearmint and lemon balm alone. You’ll lose the savory edge but retain the bright, refreshing character of the blend.
