Linseed Tea

An incredibly soothing drink, linseed tea (sometimes referred to as flaxseed tea) helps to hydrate the body efficiently and quickly.  It has a glutinous texture once prepared which is how it targets hydration and holds the linseed’s Omega 3 properties ready to be dispersed.
 
Drink 1 mug daily and see the difference to mood and emotion, skin and hair and general well being.  

​Speak to me for more information and if you're unsure about how and why this is a useful tool, book a consultation to delve further.
 
The Recipe
In a large pot or pan, place -
2 tbsp linseed (golden or brown)
Cover with water (approx 1 litre) and bring to the boil.
Remove from heat immediately. 
Leave for 12 hours (or over night), covered.
Simmer (on a low heat) for 1 hour with no lid.
Top up with extra water if necessary.
Sieve immediately and discard the linseeds.
 
Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Becomes very thick when left, dilute with water as necessary (I like to use warm or hot water, depending on the weather). 
Add honey for a sweeter flavour.

​My family adore these energy balls.  They are a bite size snack packed with quality protein and give a slow release energy.  My husband uses them for cycling while my son eats them between school and his sports clubs for an extra physical boost.





Energy Balls
In a food processor (or blender) add  - 
200g Brazil &/or almond nuts*
(or any quality nut that you prefer.  I do not use peanuts)
250g Dates
1 tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp macca powder
1 tbsp honey (I use raw honey)*
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp bee polleen*

 With the cutting blade process this mix to a dough consistency.
Roll tsp amounts of dough into balls and roll these in coconut.
Makes approximately 25 to 30 balls.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for approximately 2 weeks.
Can be eaten 20 minutes after refrigeration.

Optional - try other dried fruits or combinations e.g. apricots and dates.
Use more or less of the cacao & the macca powders.  To your taste.
Add seeds to your mix

*Allergies - if you have nut or bee product allergies, please seek further advice from me.
