I want to drink tea as much as possible, but sometimes I don’t get around to it as much as I would like due to distractions and limited time. However, I find myself wanting a beverage in the afternoons; something cozy and “rewarding”. Whether curbing the desire for dessert or just a special end to the day, I want a treat. I am a chocolate lover so that can only mean one thing… hot cocoa. But hot cocoa isn’t ever as good as it is in my imagination. My body wants something more, and I want to take advantage of this tea time to give my body more. Thus, Cozy Nettle Cocoa was born. A tea that is as deeply nourishing as it is delicious. Its packed with the nutritive powerhouse Stinging Nettle. I then surrounded the Stinging Nettle with 99.5% caffeine free Cocoa Husks so I could have the tea anytime I wanted. Cocoa Husks are basically caffeine free but they do contain a compound called Theobromine, a “feel good” alkaloid. Some find it mood boosting, others stimulating, and others just call it happiness in a cup. Hints of powdered cocoa for depth, cardamom for a brightness and nutmeg for a fabulous finish make this the coziest thing I’ve ever created. Top it with milk and sweetener of choice and this is the cocoa you’ve been craving but haven’t been able to find since you were a kid. Its the way cocoa remained in your memories…. yep… that good. Something this healthy and delicious, I just had to share!
HOW TO BREW:
Bagged: Use 1 tea bag per 16 oz of 195 ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag.
Loose Leaf: Use 1.5 Tb per 16 oz of 195 ºF water and steep a minimum of 12 minutes.
The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be.
Add sweetness if you prefer. May be re-steeped several times.
Enjoy!
