Notes

-The High-C blend is a combination of herbs that I love due to it’s antioxidant content, nourishing properties, and significant level of vitamin C – all of which strength the immune system and boost the body’s ability to protect itself (even assisting the skin in it’s ability to provide natural sun protection).

-When making an herbal infusion for popsicles you’ll want to make it strong by using double the herbs that you normally would.

-Get creative! Any combination of herbs can be made into a tea and then frozen into popsicles. This is a great way to administer herbal infusions to children.

Mountain Rose Herbs and the Bulk Herb Store are my go-to online shops for all of my medicinal herb needs.
