1. Use Whole Spices for Maximum Flavor**
Whole spices retain their essential oils and natural compounds better than ground spices. Crush or lightly break them before steeping to release their full aroma and health benefits.

2. Steep for the Right Time**
Different spices require different steeping times:
– **Ginger & Cinnamon:** 5-10 minutes for a strong infusion
– **Turmeric:** 7-12 minutes with black pepper for better absorption
– **Cloves & Cardamom:** 3-5 minutes to avoid bitterness

3. Combine with Complementary Herbs**
Spices blend well with herbal ingredients:
– Peppermint + Ginger:** Refreshing and great for digestion
– Chamomile + Cinnamon: Calming and promotes relaxation
– Lemon + Turmeric:** Immune-boosting and detoxifying

4. Sweeten Naturally**
Instead of refined sugar, use natural sweeteners like **honey, maple syrup, or stevia** to complement the herbal flavors.

5. Store Spices Properly**
To maintain potency, store spices in **airtight containers** away from heat and moisture. Fresh spices ensure a richer tea flavor and better health benefits.
