Revitalizing Tea

Revitalizing Frankincense Tea
A soothing, aromatic beverage enjoyed hot or cold to help alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
The Standard Ratios
  • For a Single Cup:
    • 2 grams (approx. 1 level teaspoon) of powdered resin
    • 8 oz of boiling purified water
  • For a Small Pot (2–3 Cups):
    • 5–6 grams (approx. 1 tablespoon) of powdered resin
    • 16–20 oz of boiling purified water
Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Tea Bag: Place the powdered resin into a disposable tea bag or a fine muslin sachet. This is a critical step to prevent the resin from sticking to your cup or teapot.
  2. Boil & Pour: Bring your purified water to a boil. Place the tea bag in your mug and pour the boiling water over it.
  3. Cover & Steep: Cover the mug with a lid or saucer to trap the beneficial volatile oils. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Enhance: Remove the tea bag. Add a slice of lemon, a sprig of fresh mint, or a teaspoon of honey to taste.
  5. Serve: Enjoy it hot for a calming effect, or let it cool and pour over ice for a refreshing summer tonic.
Pro Tips
  • The "No-Mess" Secret: Never put loose resin directly into a teapot or reusable metal infuser. Once the resin heats up, it becomes extremely sticky and will be very difficult to clean off your hardware. Always use disposable bags.
  • Combine with Herbs: Frankincense tea pairs beautifully with other dried herbs. Try adding ginger for digestion or chamomile for sleep into the same tea bag.
  • Cloudy Appearance: Just like the water infusion, the tea will look milky or cloudy. This is a sign that the therapeutic gum-resins have successfully moved into the water.
Storage & Safety
  • Immediate Consumption: Tea is best enjoyed immediately while warm.
  • Iced Tea Storage: If making a larger batch for iced tea, store in a glass pitcher in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours.
  • Heat Warning: Use caution when handling boiling water. Ensure the tea bag is securely closed to prevent powder from escaping.
