Hot Flash-Reducing Herbal Tea Blend
Red clover, chamomile, and peppermint steep together on the stove into a fragrant, softly floral herbal tea blend.
There's a real comfort in a cup of tea steeped slowly on the stove, and this blend leans into that — red clover, chamomile, and peppermint simmered together until the kitchen smells like a tisane shop.
Red clover is a traditional botanical often associated with menopause support, chamomile brings its familiar calming quality, and peppermint adds a cooling, refreshing edge that many find pleasant during a hot flash. None of this replaces medical care, but as an unwinding ritual, it's a gentle one to build into the day.
Sip it warm in the evening, or let it cool and enjoy it iced. Store any leftover dried herbs in a sealed jar away from light so the blend stays fragrant for future cups, and feel free to double the recipe if you're making a pot to share.
