Our most popular tisane at market is the Ashwagandha Apple Cayenne, nicknamed "Winter Ashwagandha" for when we first came out with this recipe in 2017. It was originally requested by Amy Chaplin (who is an incredible cookbook author) for her friend, Emilie Cresp (creator of all things beautiful). Two amazing women got this one started and it's a brew our market crowd could not live without!
Check out the recipe below. It's a great template for making an ashwahandha tisane, you can make endless variations with different fruit and by adding additional herbs. Or just stick with the classic Winter Ashwagandha!
There are so many benefits to ashwagandha ~ it's the energy balancer, anxiety manager, endurance enhancer, and immunity supporter we need for 2024!
