Evening tea

Sabine_Stroehm

As several of us aim for less wine, (including myself) it has me thinking of my favorite evening drink: hot tea. What are folks favorite non-caffeinated hot teas? Mine is a tension tamer style licorice tea...Any brand will do, and always looking for more (Mark Pardo hair salon has a fabulous one lol).
What are folks other favorite non-caf tea/tisanes for evening?

Thanks!

I like that tension tamer tea also... can't remember what brand it is, I keep it at the office. It has kind of become a joke around there, I'll tell my boss he's making me tense I need to make some tea.

I mostly drink apple cinnamon. The aroma and mild flavor is very soothing. I like the sleepy time tea from Celestial Seasonings too. I go through green tea phases, but it's not my favorite. I had to look up tisane... I used to make parsley "tea" a lot, not sure why I stopped doing that and had forgotten about it until I looked up tisane. I should try it again.

parsley sounds nice. And the apple cinnamon sounds lovely!
I looked at sleepy time yesterday and almost bought it. Perhaps I should have.

I'm also trying to make one with turmeric. But haven't done it yet.

I have been drinking a lot of lemon ginger tea lately. I started drinking it to try to help with my cough, but even though the cough is now mostly gone, I just developed a taste for the tea. I also love liquorice tea, but I usually drink it iced because the brand I get is very sweet (Stash Liquorice Spice).

Bengal Spice is another good spicy/sweet tisane. I think it's by celestial seasonings.

warm turmeric milk is nice. If you don't do regular milk, you can use other "milks" (almond, soy, etc)

chamomile tea is a good one for evening and I like the sleepy time tea.

we collected elderberry flowers last summer and dried them. They make an excellent tea that is supposed to help fight off colds and I find it a nice evening tea.

Since you mentioned cutting back on wine....we are drinking more pomegranate juice these days. My husband juiced it himself from hundreds of pounds of pomegranates he harvested around here. He makes wine with it, but also, I find pouring a glass of pomegranate juice (non-alcoholic) in a wine glass in the evening is an easy way to trick myself to thinking that I am having a glass of wine in the evening.

Coues, especially if you put your pom juice in a nice wine glass! That's a great idea

I've been having a big peppermint tea phase right now... my stomach has been a bit out of sorts, and I find it helps after dinner because it's a bit sweet and I don't want to eat anything else with it.

I have bengal spice but never tried it.... I'll bust it out. I hear great things about turmeric

Pomegranate juice is so yummy. And the elderberry flowers sound divine.
