Strawberry Relaxation Potion🍓
Sometimes, I just like to curl up with some tea on the couch and relax with my wife until bedtime. That’s usually on Fridays, but you can make this special tea any day of the week! It’s especially nice after work, or a long week, or a quiet weekend after a long week, with the windows open and some soft music playing. It’s pretty simple to throw together as well! Here’s everything you’ll need.
1 or 2 Black, Green or Chamomile Tea Bags (you can use whichever you want--if you’re sensitive to caffeine and drinking this in the evening I would recommend the chamomile)
A few drops of rose water, if you like (happiness, love, peace)
Handful of strawberries, chopped (happiness)
Chopped apples (optional!) (happiness, healing, peace)
Cherries (optional) (happiness, love)
Orange zest/juice (happiness, love)
Mint (healing, happiness, rest)
Honey and/or Sugar to sweeten
Almond Milk to top it off (optional) (healing)
In a small saucepan, add your tea bags and water, with a few drops of rose water if you desire! Bring it to a low boil and turn the heat down. Add your strawberries, orange zest, ginger and other fruit if you’re using it. Let it simmer for a few minutes longer, stirring clockwise and infusing the mixture with your intent, then remove it from the heat. Add as much sugar and honey as you like, along with the mint, and allow the mixture to steep and cool some. Strain the mixture and pour it into a mug or over ice, depending on how you’d like to drink it. You can add a little almond milk or lemon juice if desired! Then, go and put on your favorite pajamas or comfy clothes, curl up on the couch and sip your drink quietly. Allow yourself to feel peace as it flows through you.
Stress is awful for us, mentally and physically, so remember to set aside some time to rest and take care of yourself. This little potion can make a nice addition to your established self care routine! It has ingredients that call peace, happiness and health, both mental and physical, as stress wears you down both ways. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat something healthy and watch something silly. Add a pinch of magic and you’ll be ready to take on another day!
