These delightful herbal teas not only tantalize your taste buds but also provide a comforting boost to your immune system. Incorporating these recipes into your daily routine can be a flavorful and enjoyable way to stay healthy. If you like to use dried herbs and prepare these ingredients ahead of time, I recommend tea bags like these or reusable ones otherwise a tea strainer like this works great. I also like adding my ingredients to a tea pot with the infuser in it. So, brew a cup, cozy up with a blanket, and let these immune-supporting herbal teas become your wellness companions in every season. Cheers to health and happiness!
