I've discovered the true essence of Ashwagandha tea when I'm extremely stressed, or tired.
The flavor is extremely subtle, and I like to brew a large cup (300ml) for about 7 mins. The nuttiness and bitterness of the wood seeps into the water when the bags are dunked for a prolonged time. The first of this brew is wonderful, to say the least. Tension ebbs away slowly, as I enjoy a cuppa. Sometimes, I also pair it with a dollop of honey and crushed clove. But mostly, the original taste pleases me.
This also works beautifully as a sleepy time drink. The tea relaxes the nerves and induces a good sleep ( it does for me anyway)
