Linden flower warming pause

When you want a tea break

A warm cup of linden flower tea and a comfortable place for a pause. Prepare the tea using its packet instructions and stay only as long as feels comfortable.

Steps

Prepare your tea and seat

Choose packaged linden flower tea sold as a food. Use the quantity and water volume for one cup from its packet. Put the cup on a stable surface and have a light blanket nearby if wanted.

Brew a fresh cup

Pour freshly boiling water over the tea. Infuse for at least five minutes, following any longer time on the packet. Remove the strainer or bag, then let the cup cool to a comfortable drinking temperature.

Stay comfortably warm

Sit comfortably. Use the blanket only if you need it and take it off if you feel too warm. There is no need to drink several cups or remain seated for an hour.

Finish your pause

Get up when you want to move on. Brew another cup fresh if you would like tea later. Preparation and cooling are additional to the time you choose for your pause.

Note

This tea break is intended for adults. Follow the packet cautions. Do not use tea containing an ingredient you are allergic to. Ask a pharmacist about the specific product for children, pregnancy or breastfeeding, medical conditions or questions about medicines. Making a weaker cup does not establish suitability.
