The aromatic profile of this detox infusion
The opening is bright: mint's coolness and the lively zing of lime lead the way. It's clean and gently invigorating, an invitation rather than a jolt, drawing the senses in softly.
At the heart, nettle and lemon balm settle into a rounded, almost creamy herbaceous quality. Chamomile, at 9%, brings its characteristic honeyed floral note, while moringa leaves and wheatgrass extend the green, vegetal dimension.
In the finish, coconut wraps everything in a warmly indulgent sweetness that feels almost unexpected. Valerian (3%), mallow, marigold flowers and St John's wort weave a quiet, herbaceous background that lingers without ever weighing the cup down.
The overall taste is smooth, hydrating and barely astringent. A cup to be sipped slowly, perfect after the evening meal. For other herbaceous directions, explore our detox blends with complementary plants.
How to brew the Night Detox herbal infusion
Brewing is straightforward and comes down to four key points: freshly boiled spring water at 100°C, a ratio of 12 to 15 g per litre, steeping for 7 to 10 minutes covered, then straining immediately. Covering the cup preserves the volatile aromas of lime and mint.
For a single 250 ml cup, a rounded tablespoon of the blend is about right. A longer steep will bring out the more herbaceous notes of nettle and moringa; a shorter one will highlight the freshness and the coconut's gentle sweetness.
This caffeine-free infusion can be enjoyed as is or with a touch of mild honey. It also works beautifully as an iced drink on warm days: double the quantity, brew as usual, then cool down with a few ice cubes. A lovely, hydrating alternative after a hearty meal.
