Ingredients

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 tsp rooibos tea or 1 rooibos teabag
  • 1-2 tsp honey
  • 1 pinch himalayan pink, sea, or earth salt Good quality salt
  • 1 drop Thieves Vitality essential oil More is NOT better here. The oil is very potent. 1 drop is all that's needed.
  • 1 slice granny smith apple Sliced in a ring.
  • 1 pinch cinnamon

Instructions

  1. First, brew the tea. I use loose leaf rooibos in a french press. You can also use a teabag of course. But brew your tea in a different cup, or in a teapot. Let it steep several minutes until a rich color develops.

  2. While tea is steeping, in your drinking cup, add a tiny pinch of salt.

  3. Then place 1 drop of Thieves Vitality essential oil on top of the salt.

  4. Next, add honey. Stir these three things together well.

  5. Pour hot tea over the honey mixture and continue to stir to combine everything well.

  6. Gently place an apple ring on top of the tea to float, and sprinkle drink with cinnamon.

  7. Drink up and enjoy!
