Faerie Berry Tea (Rose and Juniper)
This tea serves as both a delicious celebration of our faerie friends and a generous offering that can be left out for the fae to enjoy. This recipe was specifically created with the Devas in mind, but any nearby faeries will be delighted to find it.
Ingredients:
Juniper berries (warmth, blessings)
Honey (happiness, joy, friendship, hard work)
Raw honeycomb (see honey)
Place rose petals and juniper berries in a small pot of water and bring to a boil.
Allow water to boil for ten minutes.
After it is done boiling, cover the tea and turn off the heat. Allow to steep for three minutes.
While the tea is still warm, add honey to desired sweetness. Stir clockwise nine times to help the honey dissolve.
Once steeped, strain tea. Set aside petals and berries for your offering.
To offer to the fae, set out a small cup of tea, preferably on the ground or in contact with soil. Take the petals and berries you strained out of the tea previously and arrange them in a circle around it. They will decompose and nourish the soil around them. Ring a small bell to call fae near and banish bad intentions/malevolent creatures
Whether you are drinking the tea yourself or setting it out for the faeries, putting out a piece of raw honeycomb with the tea is ideal. The honeycomb makes a sweet and delicious snack to accompany the tea that no one, faerie or human can resist.
Don’t forget to bring in whatever vessel you use to hold the tea, so that you don’t harm the environment.
BONUS: This tea may also double as a bath spell, so don’t be surprised if you find that the fae have taken a dip in your offering
