Herbal Immune Booster

Well, I don’t think I am going to put a number rating on this one – it’s not overly tasty on my taste-buds but it is an herbal so if the herbs do their job I would hate to give it a bad rating. I’m not saying it’s nasty tasting…just not my fave herbally type taste, I guess.

I can taste the Pau D’Arco mainly, with the Hibsicus thrown in for color and tarty-fruity flavor to help counter act the herbal taste, I suppose.

I have read that Pau D’Arco helps as a natural antibiotic and I think my wisdom tooth is starting to flare up again…thought I would try it…see if it helps. Also…I know this is an Immune Booster – who couldn’t use a little Immune Boost every now and again.

I think I actually like this one better cold. I had a half cup hot and the other half cold.

Backlog:

Did you know that Pau D’Arco is actually Lapacho? I didn’t until I tried this and looked up Pau D’Arco. I don’t know that this is something I’ll ever need to know, but, I know it, and it is now taking up space in my brain that maybe … could be used for something more interesting. Oh well.

This is not my favorite functional tea that I’ve ever tasted. It is very herbaceous. I taste mostly hibiscus, and I’m not particularly fond of hibiscus. I don’t mind Lapacho so much, but it’s not something I like enough that I buy it and keep it as a staple in my tea cupboard.

The taste is medicinal, and I don’t really enjoy drinking medicine, so perhaps it goes without saying that this wasn’t the most enjoyable drink I’ve had in a long time. But, if it helps me with my immune system, OK. It wasn’t horrible … and it’s better iced than it is hot.
