🌿 Mediterranean Immune-Support Herbal Tea Blend

A soothing, aromatic tea inspired by traditional Mediterranean herbs

This gentle herbal infusion combines oregano with other classic Mediterranean ingredients known for their antioxidant and comforting properties. It’s warming, refreshing, and supportive during cold seasons — but remember, it supports wellness and does not replace medical treatment.

🌿 Description

Across the Mediterranean region, herbs are commonly infused into teas for relaxation and seasonal support. This blend includes:

Oregano – rich in natural compounds like carvacrol
Thyme – traditionally used for respiratory comfort
Fresh lemon – vitamin C and brightness
Raw honey – soothing and naturally antimicrobial
Ginger (optional) – warming and digestive-supportive

The result is earthy, slightly minty, citrusy, and gently sweet.

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)

1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 4–5 fresh leaves)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 thin slices fresh ginger (optional)
2 cups hot water (not boiling aggressively)
1–2 teaspoons raw honey (to taste)
1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Heat the Water

Bring water to a gentle boil, then remove from heat for 30 seconds (very high heat can reduce delicate herbal oils).
