« With the return of the snow and winter sports, there's nothing better than a good hot chocolate after a day of activities in the great outdoors. This new version of the traditional hot chocolate, with its delicious taste of mint and lime, will quickly become a favorite of all.

Linden is a medicinal plant that will appeal to the whole family because it is soft and sweet. Its flowers have calming, relaxing and sedative properties. Peppermint helps relieve digestive disorders such as nausea, bloating, gas and regulate the internal temperature of the body. As for it, lemon verbena has a digestive tonic and slightly calming effect.

Our lime blossom, peppermint and lemon verbena herbal tea, infused in hot chocolate, will make this winter classic a winning recipe for both its taste and its digestive and relaxing benefits.

This winter, treat yourself to a delicious hot chocolate with mint and lime blossom. A beautiful comforting treat to share with family, friends or just for yourself!

Long live winter with FloralTea! »
