4. Lemongrass: Known for its fresh citrusy flavor, lemongrass has calming and digestive properties. It's often used to help reduce bloating and can even act as a mild sedative, making it perfect for relaxing after a long day.

5. Hibiscus: Vibrant and tart, hibiscus adds a beautiful red hue and a wealth of health benefits. It’s known to support heart health by lowering blood pressure and also acts as an antioxidant powerhouse.

Fun Facts about the Ingredients

• White Tea: Unlike other teas, white tea is the least processed. This delicate tea is crafted from young leaves, which are picked before the buds fully open and then carefully dried, retaining its high levels of antioxidants and light flavor profile.

• Licorice Root: Did you know licorice root was a favorite treat of ancient Egyptian pharaohs? It was found in King Tut’s tomb as a symbol of healing and wellness.

• Rosehip: During WWII, when fresh citrus was scarce in Britain, rosehips were harvested as an alternative source of vitamin C. Rosehip syrup was a popular supplement to help keep families healthy.

• Hibiscus: Known for its tartness, hibiscus has long been used in drinks across cultures—from Jamaica’s refreshing sorrel drink to Egypt’s popular Karkade tea.

• Orange Peel: The fragrant orange peel is not only a zest of flavor but also carries unique essential oils, like limonene, that have natural anti-inflammatory properties.
