Hibiscus "tea" is a popular beverage all around the world but it can be eaten directly, dried and candied on desserts,...
Cold Brewed Iced Tea is so easy Even my 7-year-old could do it.The energy requirement is almost nothing and the process is incredibly simple.Here's how:1. Add loose-leaf to to a jar2. Add coldish water3. Let the tea steep 12-15 hours4. Strain, ready to drink!I use 2 tsp per 8 oz cup of water whether I'm making hot or cold tea. So this means using 1/3 cup tea per 8 cups (1/2 gallon) of water. If you want to sweeten with sugar, add it during this step so it has time to dissolve. (My preference is to sweeten with organic agave, which can...

International Women's Day is one of our favorites of the year because it aligns with the very DNA of Nil Organic Tea. After living overseas trying to alleviate world problems head-on, Shiloh and I felt as though our efforts were just a drop in the bucket. Fighting systemic problems like child trafficking, poverty, and lack of education needed to happen at the root of the issue.This means investing in the communities that bear the heaviest load of these systemic problems in a sustainable, holistic way. We learned about microloans and grew excited at the opportunity to actually make a difference...

My sister inspired me with this one as we both try to navigate a life with strict dietary limitations. My favorite part is the texture and natural sweetness! 1. She added warm almond milk to a blender and threw in a couple dates (remove the pits first). Blend until smooth and frothy. 2. Meanwhile, steep any of our teas at double strength. After steeping, add the tea to blender and blend again. 3. Pour into your favorite mug, scoop out the thick froth, and top with a sprinkling of cinnamon. I couldn't believe: How easy this was How frothy the...
