🌿 How to Use Our Herbs & Botanical Products

Welcome to your botanical education hub! Whether you’re new to herbs or a seasoned wellness enthusiast, this guide will help you get the most out of every product from Cool As A Cucumber Herbs.

☕ Herbal Teas & Loose Leaf Blends

Loose leaf teas are one of the most traditional and enjoyable ways to experience the benefits of botanicals.

  1. Measure 1 teaspoon of loose leaf herb per 8 oz of water (adjust to taste)
  2. Heat water to 200–212°F (just below boiling for delicate herbs; full boil for roots and bark)
  3. Steep for 5–10 minutes, covered, to retain volatile oils
  4. Strain and enjoy — sweeten with honey or add lemon as desired

Tip: Use our Stainless Squeeze Ball Strainer for a mess-free brew!

💊 Herbal Capsules & Supplements

Our herbal capsules make it easy to incorporate botanicals into your daily routine.

  • Follow the recommended serving size on the product label
  • Take with a full glass of water, preferably with food
  • Consistency is key — many herbal supplements work best when taken regularly over time
  • Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications

🔥 Loose Leaf Incense & Charcoal Discs

Burning botanical incense is a beautiful way to bring aromatherapy into your space.

  1. Place a charcoal disc in a heat-safe incense burner or bowl filled with sand
  2. Hold a flame to the edge of the disc until it begins to spark and self-ignite
  3. Allow the disc to ash over for 1–2 minutes until glowing
  4. Sprinkle a small pinch of loose leaf incense onto the disc
  5. Add more as the scent fades — a little goes a long way!

⚠️ Always burn in a well-ventilated area. Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from children and pets.

🍫 Chai Latte Mixes

Our chai latte mixes are crafted for easy, cozy preparation at home.

  1. Add 2–3 tablespoons of chai mix to your mug
  2. Pour in 8 oz of hot milk (dairy or plant-based) or hot water
  3. Stir well until fully dissolved
  4. Adjust sweetness to taste and enjoy!
