Collagen Boosting Herbal Tea - The Flavorful Journey

Want to give your skin a natural collagen boost? Here’s a simple, flavorful herbal tea recipe that not only supports collagen production but also tastes delightful. Let’s walk through how to make it and why each ingredient works so well.

Collagen-Boosting Herbal Tea Recipe

You’ll need:

1 cup hot water
A handful of fresh parsley leaves
1 tsp dried hibiscus flowers
1 tsp dried rose petals
1 tsp dried rosemary
1–2 slices fresh ginger
1 tsp lemon juice
Optional: Soaked chia seeds & parsley
Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup for sweetness

Instructions:

1. Boil Water

Bring one cup of water to a boil. Add the parsley leaves and let them simmer briefly.

2. Steep the Ingredients

In a cup or teapot, combine the hibiscus, rose petals, rosemary, and ginger. Pour the hot parsley water over the mixture.

3. Let it Steep

Cover and allow the tea to steep for 5–7 minutes. Want a bolder flavor? Let it sit a little longer.

4. Strain and Customize

Strain the tea, stir in lemon juice, and if desired, add soaked chia seeds and a touch of honey or maple syrup to sweeten.

Note: When I first learned this recipe, parsley wasn’t originally included, but once I added it, the skin benefits became even more noticeable.
