The Esalflores specialist indicates the ideal species for preparing natural, hot and healthy drinks at home
Growing plants at home is a great option to bring a little nature into everyday life and make the environment lighter and more welcoming. Whether it’s in a pot, in a flowerbed or in a private garden, the practice of breeding species in the comfort of your home is fun, relaxing and can also be very useful and convenient.
With autumn arriving and temperatures dropping, nothing is more fulfilling and relaxing than warming up the body with a delicious cup of tea. Even better if it is possible to collect the ingredients for the drink directly from the gardens or from the pots of the house.
In addition to being natural, healthy and practical, teas can bring many benefits, including strengthening the immune system. Elizeu de Almeida, florist at Esalflores, one of the largest flower shop networks in the country, has prepared a special list with suggestions of plants that are easy to grow at home, ideal for making different teas.
