Calming Lavender, Chamomile & Mint Tea with Lemon Honey Twist

featured 3573

We drink a lot of iced tea. For years rooibos was our go-to—naturally sweet and never bitter—until a Whole Foods Foodie Friday tasting changed everything. One Friday, an employee named Brian showcased a blend from the bulk section that we all fell in love with. Since then, rooibos hasn’t made an appearance in our house.

Lavender Chamomile Mint Tea

At our local Whole Foods, employees create themed dishes and drinks every Friday. The themes vary—around Cinco de Mayo you’ll find carne asada tacos and spicy guacamole; near the Fourth of July there’s plenty of BBQ and berries. The week we discovered this tea featured employee recipes using bulk ingredients. Brian’s combination of dried herbs and a hint of spice was a revelation.

These days I rarely have time to sit and savor a meal—one eye on my plate and the other on my baby girl. Breakfast is the hardest: everyone wishes it could be even quicker and easier. I’ve tried every shortcut, but many options either don’t keep me full or take too long to prepare. The best solution I’ve found is simple: bake a big batch of muffins and freeze them.

Freezing homemade muffins isn’t a groundbreaking idea, but it’s a practical one. Make a large batch, seal them in a resealable bag or airtight container, and store them in the freezer for weeks—often a couple of months if well packaged. Frostbitten edges aren’t a problem; a quick 30-second zap in the microwave thaws and warms them perfectly. That convenience has been a lifesaver for busy mornings and early parenting days.

The lemon-raspberry combination in this recipe is especially delightful. The muffins stay incredibly soft and moist thanks to the yogurt or light sour cream and oil. Bright lemon zest and a splash of lemon juice give each bite a fresh citrus lift, while juicy raspberries add pockets of sweet-tart flavor throughout. Paired with a fried egg, these muffins make a balanced, protein-rich breakfast that feels indulgent yet quick.

Bake a batch to keep on hand for weekday mornings—you’ll appreciate having a warm, homemade option ready in seconds. Below is the full recipe so you can make your own. Happy baking!
