Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Loose leaf tea of your choice Choose your favorite flavors.
- 1 cup Dried herbs or flowers Options include chamomile, lavender, or peppermint.
- 1 cup Cocoa butter or white chocolate For creamy texture and sweetness.

Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by melting cocoa butter or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm it slowly and stir occasionally until it becomes smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, combine your loose leaf tea and dried herbs. Embrace the aroma and texture as you mix them together, savoring the scents that waft into the air.
- Pour the melted cocoa butter or chocolate into the bowl with the tea mixture. Use the spoon to blend everything together. Notice how the colors change and the textures combine.
- Carefully spoon the mixture into your molds. Press down gently to ensure each bomb holds together while maintaining its soft, inviting shape.
- If you'd like to add decorative elements, sprinkle edible glitter or tuck in a dried citrus slice before sealing the molds.
- Allow the bombs to set at room temperature until firm, or place them in the refrigerator for a quicker process.
- Once hardened, gently pop the bombs out of their molds, enjoying the smooth curve and texture of each one.
Usage
- Drop one tea bomb into a hot cup of water and watch it dissolve, releasing a beautiful swirl of colors and flavors.
- Enjoy a quiet moment of reflection while sipping your tea, allowing the warmth to embrace you inside and out.
- Consider sharing your tea bombs with a friend.
Notes
Store tea bombs in an airtight container; they are best enjoyed fresh but can last for a few weeks when stored properly. Experiment with flavors and personalizations like nuts or dried fruits.
