Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
When it starts to bubble, reduce to low, cover loosely and simmer for ~20 minutes.
Let it cool then strain out all the herbs.
Sweeten with 1 tablespoon of raw honey or real maple syrup (or sweetener of choice).
Add some milk or unsweetened milk substitute of choice to lighten the bite!
Enjoy this tea by the cup, 1 to 3x daily. You may enjoy this at any time of day.
You can also make this tea with just one adaptogen (1 tablespoon of just ashwagandha or shatavari instead of 1/2 tablespoon of each).
- For a high-energy adaptogen tea option without any caffeine, you may like to replace the ashwagandha or shatavari with "Siberian gineseng" (eleuthero) which has a mild flavor and will boost your energy for a while!
