Making Senna Herbal Tea


Hello Tea Fans!

After reading how @samstonehill did his 12 day master cleanse, I am hoping to do a shorter version of this myself, at least to start with. I think having a detox once or twice per year is good for you. Usually I like to do this in January and around Ramadan time.

Therefore I bought some Senna Tea to see how it tastes and if it works. I have never tried it before, even though I have drunk quite a few herbal teas. Inspired to use my new teapot for this very purpose, I was excited to make a post about it.

When I think of tea, I am often thinking of English Tea as you can see from my last post. I am not drinking too much English tea as it contains caffeine and I don't usually drink it for this reason, it is maybe 5 years or more now since I last drank coffee. Someone wrote me today that they reached 12 days without coffee and have the worst migraines ever, which is the usual withdrawal symptoms from coffee. After 2 weeks, you are past the worst of it then. With tea, I don't think you can have such bad side effects when you stop.

Onto making the tea:


I took 2 teaspoons of the leaves and put into the pot. It is enough for 2 cups of tea, more if you have smaller cups than I have here.


I fill my tea pot with hot water to the top and then let it brew for 10-15 minutes before trying the tea.


With my tea ready, I am good to go!


The final step is to add something sweet to eat with it. I have gone for a german gingerbread called Lebkuchen and some small marzipan chocolates which accompany the tea very well.

How are you making your tea?

What do you like to eat with it?

Thanks for reading.

    Did you get any intense bowel movements as a result of the tea?

  • @oceanbee(70)· 693d

    I have never heard of senna tea before so I looked it up. Yeah, I don't think I want to mess with it, with no prooven efficacy for weight loss or detoxing. But if it works for you - good for you.

    Your new tea pot looks nifty!

    10 to 15 minutes? Wouldn't the tea bag completely disappear inside the hot water? It's been long I took one, I think over 14 years now. I mostly take hot chocolate drinks instead.

    I am not a huge fan of tea, but I drink quite a lot of coffee, usually 3 cups a day, and I am trying go to get it lower a little bit. Hope that you can feel the benefit of that tea and the cleansing. !PIZZA !LUV !LOLZ

    Hi @mypathtofire

    How nice to see you here! Drinking tea is a healthy habit that can replace drinking coffee. Of course, if you abruptly stop drinking coffee, the migraines will be epic, so it is good to gradually reduce the number of cups per day, and replace it with tea.

    It is a widespread custom in the world to accompany tea with some sweet, cookie or cake. In my particular case, since I live in a country where it is not common to drink tea, I do it without accompaniment, when I drink it hot I drink it alone or with a touch of sugar. When I drink it cold, I add a lot of ice, lemon and sugar, because I don't like very sweet drinks, in fact, I drink very black coffee without sugar; but I know that in other Latin American countries, such as Chile, it is common to drink tea in the afternoons, around 3:30 p.m., and they call it "Once", I don't know the reason for that name, and they serve it with milk and accompanied by salty or sweet cookies, with some jam, and even with a kind of avocado puree. I know this because I lived for several years surrounded by many Chileans.

    Thanks for sharing this way of preparing tea.

    Cheers!

    We get decaffeinated green tea for me. I was drinking a lot of it when I was sick and now I have kind of stopped. I need to make it a daily thing.

  • @seckorama(78)· 694d

    I never tasted Senna Herbal tea. Maybe I should for cleansing? 🤔

  • @travoved(68)· 694d

    Stopped to drink tea and coffee 6 years ago and even don't want to drink it now. It took nearly 2 years for friends and relatives to remember that I don't drink them ))) but chocolate is my passion he-he-he) Ifvto talk in general instead of tea and coffee I prefer to drink mors of fruit drinks made from fruits and berries
