Mix chamomile, rooibos, chicory, and ginger to create your perfect gut-healing blend.
One of the most enjoyable ways to stay healthy on keto is by sipping herbal teas. They’re naturally caffeine-free, soothe the digestive system, and promote inner balance. Once you start combining herbs, you can tailor every cup to your needs — whether it’s calm digestion, gentle detox, or better sleep.
Creating your own herbal tea blends gives you complete control over flavor and function, using ingredients that support both gut health and keto living.
🍵 1. Start With a Soothing Base
Begin your blend with one or two mild teas that complement nearly any flavor. These set the tone for your cup, creating a smooth background taste.
Best base teas for keto:
Chamomile – relaxing and anti-inflammatory
Rooibos – rich in antioxidants and naturally sweet
Chicory root – prebiotic support for healthy gut bacteria
Combine 2 parts of any of these teas to form your base blend.
🌿 2. Add a Healing Element
This is where your tea’s purpose comes in — ingredients that directly support digestion and wellness.
Healing choices:
Ginger root – stimulates digestion and reduces nausea.
Peppermint – eases bloating and freshens breath.
Fennel seed – relieves fullness and supports gentle detox.
Use 1 part of one or two of these herbs to layer therapeutic benefits into your blend.
🍊 3. Include Flavor Enhancers
A little zest or spice makes your blend inviting. These optional additions create a memorable aroma and enhance flavor without adding carbs.
Tasty keto-safe add-ins:
Dried lemon peel or orange peel.
A dash of cinnamon or turmeric.
A few rose petals for a floral lift.
Use half of the flavoring herbs to complement the blend’s core ingredients.
🍯 4. Store and Label Your Blends
Keep your herbal blends in airtight glass jars away from sunlight. Label each with the ingredients and intended purpose — for example:
“Calm & Comfort Blend – Chamomile, Rooibos, Cinnamon.”
For a personal touch, tie a simple tag around each jar. These make thoughtful keto-friendly gifts too!
🫖 5. How to Brew Your Custom Tea
Use one tablespoon of loose blend per 8 ounces of water.
Steep in hot (not boiling) water for 5–7 minutes.
Strain, sip slowly, and enjoy the aroma as part of your self-care routine.
For a creamy variation, add a splash of full-fat coconut milk or almond milk. (I like to add coconut oil to my teas if you would like to give that a try. )
