Ingredients
Sea Buckthorn-Orange Blend








Spicy Cranberry-Cherry Mix



Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the oranges. Peel the oranges carefully, removing the white pith to avoid bitterness. Next, grate the orange zest into a bowl; this will enhance the flavor of your tea.
Cut the oranges into segments and add them to your blender. Include the rinsed sea buckthorn and a small piece of ginger. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. If you prefer, you can add a bit of mint or honey to taste.
Once blended, pour the mixture into molds and freeze. Feel free to embellish the molds with additional mint leaves for a festive touch.
Step 2
Begin by rinsing the cranberries and cherries under cold water. Remove any stems or pits from the cherries to ensure your puree has a delightful texture.
Place the cranberries and cherries into your blender. Add a piece of ginger and a sprinkle of cinnamon, along with honey or mint to suit your palate. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Dispense the pureed mixture into your desired molds, garnish as you wish, and then freeze. This vibrant blend will become a refreshing addition to your tea.
Step 3
When you’re ready to enjoy your herbal tea purees, simply remove them from the freezer. Boil water and pour it over the frozen puree. Allow it to steep for a few minutes so that all the lovely flavors are released.
Stir well, and if desired, add more honey to enhance sweetness. Serve hot, and appreciate the nourishing taste of your homemade herbal treats!
