Sea Buckthorn Tea

Hello everyone and hello (almost) the mid of November. Isn’t it the time to get some extra vitamins to fight cold and soggy fall days? I’ve got you covered. Please welcome Sea Buckthorn Tea!

I assume many of you are not familiar with sea buckthorns. However, you might remember I’ve shared some recipes with these beautiful berries before; please check this Chicken Salad with Sea Buckthorn Dressing and this Sea Buckthorn Curd. I understand that if you reside in the U.S., you might have not even seen these berries in the stores. Hint: search the International departments of your supermarket. Another hint: if you have European (For instance, Russian or Polish grocery stores) in around your area, check the department of frozen produce. Another way how is that you can find dried berries online which would be a bit more expensive (But you won’t need a lot of them).

Sea buckthorns have a lot of benefits including antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and vitamins (Particularly, vitamin C in large quantities, vitamins E and A. Paired with other ingredients (like citrus fruits and honey), the Sea Buckthorn Tea a perfect remedy against a cold. Berries have a specific, slightly bitter, and sharp (and not too sweet) flavor so make sure to add enough honey to your taste.

For this collection, I have created regular sea buckthorn tea, sea buckthorn tea with apples, and sea buckthorn tea with oranges. I am sure you can try other combinations, but my favourite is the one with oranges. Luscious oranges perfectly pair tartness of these berries. And don’t forget some spices like cinnamon or star anise. I think (I’m not sure though) that some rum or bourbon would be a good addition, too!

Now, you should get sea buckthorns, make some Sea Buckthorn Tea, and thank me for this recipe while seating in the armchair covered in a blanket and sipping this delightful hot tea on a freezing winter night. The fireplace and rum are optional :)

Cheers.

    Never heard of sea buckthorns before, but it totally intrigues me! And now that the weather is super cold (and we are in for some nasty weather tomorrow) this is definitely in order. Looks so warming and I also bet it would be lovely as part of a hot toddy – love the suggestion of rum and a fireplace ;)

    Interesting recipe and I’m definitely going to have to check out our local Polish stores (of which we have quite a few in Glasgow!) to see if they’re go Sea Buckthorn. This tea drink would make a change from all the lemsips I drink when I’m feeling under the weather!

    Well the timing of this post is perfect as I’m a bit under the weather right now. The funny thing is I only drink tea when I’m sick. I don’t know why…it’s just a comfort thing I guess. I don’t think I’ve seen sea buckthorn around here, but we do have a Polish grocery store…so I’ll have to swing in there next time I’m in the area. Thanks for the recipe, my friend!

    You’re so right, Ben. I’ve never seen Sea Buckthorn here, but I imagine it’s only because I haven’t looked. I’m curious, though, so hopefully I can find them. The flavor sounds enticing!
