Hey it's Logan Christopher from Lost Empire Herbs and today I want to talk
about the herbal pick-me-up. So the thing is we sell a lot of powders at Lost
Empire Herbs right and most people aren't used to taking these
things, like what do you do with these things especially when they taste pretty
bad right, some of them tasting worse than others.
I came up with this idea and it's you know it's not novel I'm sure other
people have done it, but this is a super simple way to take herbs and to kind of
use them in combination to get the benefits in a way that can really taste
good too and it's simple you don't even need a blender or anything.
Blenders work you know add herbs into that that works fine, but you can make a
simple drink. All you need is closable water or a vessel like this, an old mason
jar anything and what we're gonna do is use the different herbs and mix them
together so we have a purely herbal drink like this. Now the important thing
is to do a base of good tasting herbs right and we do have some of those at
Lost Empire Herbs. Some my favorites include goji berry or goji berry juice
powder that we have, sea buckthorn is a favorite I got a jar of that right here
so I'm gonna go ahead and do that and you'll notice I'm not measuring anything
like off the top of my head I'm not sure the dosage we recommend here, but I use a
good amount of sea buckthorn berry. This is really nutritious herb so just
throwing that in there as a base it has that sour taste that I really like. Let's
see what else tastes good...Here's another one of our newer herbs that we have, our
beet juice powder, I love to taste this stuff and it's good so I'm just gonna
take a heaping teaspoon like that and throw that in there. So this has a few
sugars in there like the goji berry so a good base.
You know let's throw a little maca in there. I like maca often with my coffee,
but I'll throw that in there too. So now we have a base of good tasting herbs
right, and you could just take this if you have those herbs, shake it up and drink it.
Okay so now it's actually it's a little bit too sweet right so let's bitter this
up a bit. How about some bacopa? So let's say I'm going
about my day and I need an herbal pick-me-up and I especially want a
little more mental clarity, here's where once you have the base you start
thinking about the different herbal actions and what you're seeking to get.
So we throw some bacopa in there, bacopa having a very salty taste not
something that's great by itself. Pearl right? So the bacopa can bring in the
focus, the pearl also has that kind of Shen calming thing so I'm gonna be able
to focus on my work, go own about my day but be relaxed about it at the same time. I'm
going to intensify this sour taste with this one let's see what else do I got
here... And I've chaga on me so I'll use that one as well, this having the more of
a bitter taste because it's a strong extract we'll throw that in there and I
could keep going like this. I've had ones where I had a good inch or so of
different powders going on, of course I have lots of herbs available so let's
shake this up again and spray it everywhere. Should be good to go and now I have this
great drink and this is very portable, you could carry with this if you had the
right lid to go with it or just drink it all down right there. Tastes really good
and because you're combining these different herbs and you're getting a
good dose of each or small dosages of a bunch of different things you can really
tailor it to how you're feeling in the day, that's especially if you have a lot
of different herbs available but this is a great way to get a bunch of the herbal
power, these superfoods into your body so I highly recommend you try giving it a shot. Really simple to do and it gets great results. Before I go just wanted to
give you another way you can do this here, I have some of the gynostemma tea
that was brewed earlier this makes another fantastic base, you have some of the
sweet notes from the gynostemma tea and you can do this when it's hot if you
want a warm drink, or you can also set this in the fridge or just let it cool
down the room temperature and then use that as your base. Gynostemma tea makes a
great base for different smoothies but it also works for this
as well so you know now we're just throwing my powders do the same thing
shake it up and with that base that's just additional benefit that you get
from doing it rather than just water itself. Of course you can use all sorts
of different teas to do the same sort of thing but the gynostemma
particularly makes a fantastic base so I recommend you try that one out.
