Pink Lotus Tea Blend: A Soothing Herbal Infusion
At Zhi Herbals, we hold a deep reverence for botanicals that inspire peace, balance, and a connection to the natural world. One such herb is the ethereal pink lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), a flower long cherished for its calming, heart-opening qualities. Today, we're sharing a gentle, aromatic pink lotus tea blend that features not only this beautiful aquatic blossom, but also soothing rose petals and other floral allies.
If you don’t have pink lotus on hand, you can substitute any other variety of lotus that you enjoy. We also offer blue, red and white lotus petals.
The Beauty and Spirit of Pink Lotus
The pink lotus is a symbol of spiritual awakening and serenity for many people. When used in teas and tinctures, pink lotus is said to support emotional balance and promote deep relaxation. Its delicate petals offer a subtle, floral aroma that pairs wonderfully with other calming herbs.
Crafting a Calming Pink Lotus Tea Blend
This herbal pink lotus tea recipe is intentionally simple, allowing each plant to shine. We’ve chosen herbs that complement pink lotus both in flavor and energetics. Rose, with its uplifting and heart-supportive qualities, adds a gentle floral fragrance and flavor depth. Chamomile and lavender offer additional calming actions, rounding out the blend beautifully.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons dried pink lotus petals
- 1 tablespoon dried rose
- 1 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender
Preparation:
- Bring 2 cups of fresh, filtered water to a gentle boil.
- Place 2 teaspoons of the pink lotus tea blend into a tea infuser or teapot.
- Pour the hot water over the herbs and cover to keep the volatile oils from escaping.
- Steep for 10 to 30 minutes.
- Strain and enjoy slowly, mindfully.
This infusion can be enjoyed warm for a cozy ritual or chilled for a floral iced tea on hot days. A touch of raw honey or maple syrup adds a lovely hint of sweetness, if desired.
Sip Slowly, Breathe Deeply
This pink lotus tea blend is a reminder to pause, breathe, and return to the present. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or simply carving out a quiet moment, this herbal tea offers gentle support for the heart and spirit.
