Cinnamon Beet Mocktail with Rose

Bold, ravishing red color adds a sense of daring to the beet-iful deliciousness of this radiant mocktail. Our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Cinnamon Rose tea lends light floral notes and a touch of warm spice that complement the piquancy of ginger and citrusy orange brightness. Add rich, velvety red beet juice, and the combination is truly magical, in flavor and in wellness benefits.

With antioxidants, electrolytes, and other powerful plant compounds and nutrients, bulbous beets have been increasingly garnering attention over the last decade, rising to superfood status. In fact, associated benefits of beets suggest they may support improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and bolstered exercise stamina, to name a few. Better yet, the sweet, earthy taste is a perfect pair for our Tulsi Cinnamon Rose tea, further enriching the nutritious package with the power of Tulsi.

Adaptogen Tulsi is known for its stress-relieving and life-enriching qualities. Noted in ancient Indian scriptures for over 5,000 years, this “Queen of Herbs” is revered throughout India as a sacred plant. Its adaptogenic properties are considered stress-relieving and life enhancing, associated with supporting natural detoxification, bolstered immunity, spiritual uplift, and more. Our Organic Tulsi Cinnamon Rose tea adds a delicately sweet and spiced floral kiss that beautifully balances all that herbal wealth.

You don’t need a juicer to prepare this beautiful blend. Simply pour through a fine mesh strainer after blending, pressing with cheesecloth for the maximal amount of rendered juice. Pour over ice if desired and top with sparkling water—or, if you’re feeling extra festive, your favorite ginger, citrus, or berry kombucha. However you choose to serve, this refresher is sure to be a treat.
