Herbal Tea Bags - Make Your Own

Making your own herbal tea bags can save you a ton of money if you have been buying your favorites in tea bags at the grocery or tea shop.

We have a few great tips to share with you so you can create your own delicious fillable herbal style tea bags at home.

The first step is to find some empty, fillable tea bags. These are usually available at a local tea shop and are sold by 50 or 100 tea bags in a lot. They will only set you back a couple of dollars. Most of these fillable tea bags have a fold over top and a wide opening, making it easy for you to fill your own herbal tea bags with ease.

Now, take a moment and think of your favorite herbal tea. Is it fruity and spicey? Maybe an apple cinnamon herbal tea takes your fancy, or maybe you like minty and soothing, like a sleepy tea, then peppermint chamomile is the one for you!

Only you can decide the best blend for you. It is common to have herbal teas blended with black, green or white tea as well, if you wish to blend loose tea with your herbs, just make sure you have some on hand.

So, let's say you like apple cinnamon teas. Just take a 1/2 teaspoon of loose black tea, add 1/4 teaspoon of dried apple, and 1/4 inch of a cinnamon stick. Now fold over your tea bag and you are ready to go!

You can apply this technique to any type of herbal tea you like. No need to pay a high price for purchased herbal teas, just experiment and you will create some amazing herbal teas, and be proud to know you blended them yourself.
