apollo’s sun tea

- 🥮🌿☀️🕊✨

hi there! sorry for my little hiatus, i came into a short rut with my craft but somethin came around and sparked some inspiration in me! so, you don’t have to be an apollo devotee to make this tea, and you can definitely use it for any of your deities that may like this like sol or even cernunnos, or just drink it in spirit of the sun’s energies! it’s super delish and cozy and i recommend it best served warm or nice and steamy hot :)

- 🕊🥮☀️

[ what you’ll need; ]

- black tea

- chamomile tea

- a cinnamon stick

- honey

[ steps; ]

- get your water to a nice n bubbly boil in a small pot/kettle device and drop your cinnamon stick in, begin to turn your heat down to low-medium

- as your boil softens, stir in your honey clockwise. choose this time to communicate or give a few graditutues, this part is 100% customizable and totally optional ofc

- once your boil is hardly a simmer, drop in your black tea, stirring intentionally for a moment or so then go ahead and drop in your chamomile and do the same

- take it off the heat right after you’re done stirring and let it brew for maybe 3 minutes or so, strain and enjoy!

litha iced chamomile 🌼

simple iced chamomile tea for litha and ofc great for summertime overall; this stuff tastes amazing & it’s super refreshing~
- ☀️🕊
to make a pitcher;
  • 2 qts water
  • 1/2 cup sugar or 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/8 cup chamomile
  • 1/8 cup lavender
to make a serving;
  • water (changes based on how big or sm your mug is ofc but ratios will all generally be the same here)
  • 1 tsp sugar or 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp chamomile
  • 1 tsp lavender
-
to actually make the tea you can either brew over a gentle simmer on the stovetop (boiling is just gonna burn/overbrew both the lavender & chamomile and it gets to be bitter) or do a cold 24-36 hr brew in the fridge then strain, ice, & enjoy!

sugar ✨

kindness, joy, wishes

no real health benefits here, it’s just sugar

always be careful with sugar intake, ofc even more so if you have any issues with insulin etc

honey 🐝

healing, prosperity, happiness, luck, energy

anti inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, heart/digestive health

honey is sugar and too much sugar won’t ever really be a good thing; be sure you’re getting your honey from a good source, save the bees, and don’t give honey to babies under the age of 2

chamomile 🌼

healing, growth, happiness, prosperity, cleansing, calming

cramps, sleep aid, anti inflammatory, soothes stomach

can lower blood sugar and interact with blood thinners or cause constipation

lavender ☁️

grounding, cleansing, healing, calming

can reduce blood pressure, helps headaches/nausea, antiseptic, anti inflammatory, pain relief

uncommonly associated with constipation or headache
