Cozy Mulled Tea Recipe, Spiced or Fruity

Lift your senses and soothe your soul with cozy winter mulled tea! The holiday season may be behind us, but there’s no reason not to fill your house with the delightful aromas of classic mulling spices–and give yourself an energizing boost and space for calm, too. With our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Teas, the possibilities are endless.

 Typically, when we think of “mulling”, the next word that comes to mind is wine. Our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Teas offer a deliciously non-alcoholic alternative, delivering the warmth and richness of flavors signature to mulled drinks. In line with the luxurious feeling that comes with sipping a cozy mulled beverage, the process of mulling is simple. Just steep any of our teas with fruit slices and spices, strain, and sweeten to taste.

 A powerful adaptogen, Tulsi (Holy Basil) has been used in India for more than 5,000 years, celebrated for its stress-relieving and life-enhancing qualities. Known in Ayurveda as “the incomparable one”, Tulsi has been extensively researched, with evidence showing it may support stress response, attention and focus, a stable mood, and more. ORGANIC INDIA’s flagship herb, Tulsi teas provide a wealth of nourishing vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds, naturally supporting holistic health.

 We’ve highlighted our gorgeous golden Tulsi Turmeric Chai and Tulsi Hibiscus teas here, but feel free to swap in your favorite ORGANIC INDIA Teas. Our teas in tandem with steeped spices deliver such robust flavor, we tend to sweeten at the end, if at all, but you can certainly include maple syrup or another sweetener of choice in the steeping step. Get playful–add fruits like apple slices or lemon peel, vary spice blends, and soak up both the relaxing and energizing rewards.
