Traveling with Holy Tea

[HavenWood]

In two weeks, we're going to Maine for a week.  We'll be staying in a hotel.  I don't want to be without my Holy Tea, but I also know that a gallon jug of tea will not fit in one of those little hotel refrigerators.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to prepare a concentrated version, and what are the measurements for making it.

For instance, if I could make say, a quart, or even a pint of it, and then mix some of the concentrate with water in the hotel...

I found my own answer on the Holy Tea website.

(You can use a refrigerated concentrate, and add it to hot water or hot tea. Make 1 quart instead of 4 quarts of Holy Tea using 2 bags, refrigerate, then add 2 ounces of the cold concentrate to 6 ounces of hot water or hot tea.)

Havenwood,

Thanks so much for this information! I have had to go without Holy Tea this past year because of a lot of travel. Short trips (less than 5 days) but even one day is too long to go without my Holy Tea! Now I know how to carry it with me.

Appreciate your help!

I've also heard of folks using the tea bags, and utilizing them like standard teabags with a 3 minute steep, but then re-using them many times while they are traveling. 

Another option I've heard of is to travel with the dried herbs.  I'm not sure how much you'd try to implement each day or if it'd have the same effectiveness?? 

If anyone tries or creates any "Traveling with Tea" methods, please share the results!

Appreciate you!

Have a WONDERFUL trip!!

Trina, I got the Holy Tea cook book that was in one of the msgs on this forum. In her recipes, she calls for, on average, one tea bag of dried tea for one serving and 2-3 in a recipes that serves 4-5.

You could take the dried tea with you and sprinkle it on cereal, put it in yogurt and the like when you travel. I thought of taking some on my recent trip to Mexico tho and decided against it since we were flying. The last thing I'd want is to have to explain something questionable looking in my luggage-lol.

I've been drying all my HT bags since I got the cook book and just sprinkling it into things I eat. It seems to have the same effect as the tea.
