Flu Fighter (Cold + Flu)
Feeling run down? Can’t see straight? If your body feels like it’s descending through Dante’s hell, it’s time to face it—you’ve got the flu. Your most productive task today may just be sending a feeble “I am sick” email to your boss. But wait! If you’ve stocked up on Flu Fighter (Cold + Flu) tea, your immune system might find the strength to rise and tackle the day.
The Power of Antioxidants
At the heart of this nourishing blend is antioxidant-rich green tea. This powerful base not only tastes great but also supports your body’s defenses. Let’s explore the natural wonders packed into this tea that help combat colds and flu.
Echinacea
First is Echinacea, a staple in over-the-counter flu remedies. Used by indigenous peoples for centuries, this woodland flower is believed to boost your body’s white blood cell count. This can help you fight off infections more effectively.
Elderberries and Rosehips
Next, we have elderberries and rosehips. Both are loaded with Vitamin C, which your body needs to repair and restore its immune system. During WWII, these fruits served as a primary source of Vitamin C for the island-bound people of the UK, showing their nutritional importance.
Goji Berries
Not to be outdone, goji berries add their own benefits. This medicinal plant has roots in ancient China and is thought to enhance immune function. They are high in Vitamins A and C, iron, and antioxidants, and also contain Vitamin K, contributing to overall well-being.
Flavourful Finish
To round out this potent blend, we’ve added mango and raspberry for a rich, fruity flavour. With each sip, you’ll feel flu symptoms on the ropes, treating your taste buds while your body gets the support it needs.
Sip Your Way to Wellness
Don’t let the flu bring you down! With Flu Fighter (Cold + Flu), you’ll nourish your body and enjoy a delicious cup that can help you feel better fast. Make this tea your go-to whenever illness strikes. Empower your immune system to fight back. Remember, don’t run down—grab your Flu Fighter and feel good again!
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Milk and sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the herbal tea. Steep for 5-10 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping tea spoons of herbal tea into teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herbal tea. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
