Tips:

Use fresh herbs whenever possible. Fresh herbs have a more intense flavor than dried herbs, and they will give your tea a more vibrant color.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
Use a variety of herbs to create a unique flavor profile. Some good combinations include peppermint and spearmint, chamomile and lavender, or rosemary and thyme.
Steep your tea for the recommended amount of time. Over-steeping your tea can make it bitter.
Enjoy your tea hot or cold. Winter herb tea is delicious both ways.

Conclusion:

Winter herb tea is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to boost your immune system and fight off colds and flu. So next time you're feeling under the weather, reach for a cup of winter herb tea. You'll be glad you did.
