Horchata lojana or herbal tea mix
Description
Horchata lojana or herbal tea mix involves infusing a combination of dried horchata herbs or fresh assorted herbs and flowers in boiling water. After steeping for 5 to 10 minutes, the mixture is strained to remove herb sediments. Lemon juice and sweetener, such as sugar or honey, are added to balance the natural herbal flavors with brightness and sweetness. Optional additions like blended aloe vera and flaxseeds can be stirred in to provide extra texture and mild vegetal notes. This tea can be served warm for a comforting drink or cold for refreshment, making it a flexible herbal beverage option.
