Grandma Liio's Tea Recipes: 10 Homestyle Tea Blends

Every family has a version of these — the blend Grandma made when someone caught a cold, the tea poured before bed, the one that just meant home. These are ours. Ten simple, warm tea blends, each with its own small story.

1. Grandma's Cold Remedy

Black tea + fresh ginger + honey + a slice of lemon. Brew strong and drink hot at the first sign of a cold.

2. The Calm Evening Blend

GABA oolong + dried chamomile + lemon balm. For quiet evenings without racing thoughts.

3. The Morning Wake-Up

Green tea + fresh mint + a drop of lemon juice. Gentle brightness without the jolt.

4. The After-Feast Tea

Pu-erh + dried tangerine peel (chen pi). Drink 30–40 minutes after a heavy meal for lightness.

5. The Woman's Balance Blend

White tea + rosehip + dried goji berries. Warm and gentle — for days that call for a little extra care.

6. The Light-Legs Blend

Green tea + mint + (where available) birch buds. A refreshing infusion for warm days.

7. The Warming Winter Tea

Pu-erh + cinnamon + clove + orange peel. For cold evenings and the feeling of coming home.

8. The Deep Sleep Blend

GABA oolong + lavender + a spoonful of honey. Drink an hour before bed.

9. The Beauty-From-Within Blend

White tea + hibiscus + goji berries. Bright, tart-sweet, and rich in antioxidants.

10. Grandma's Joy Blend

Oolong + dried apple + a pinch of cinnamon. For good moods and warm family evenings.
