Hi Friends!
I'm back in action and ready to attack. I successfully put together over 300 DIY Christmas presents. It was a huge undertaking but I pushed through and I'm thrilled with the outcome. Now I have the daunting task of handwriting holiday cards and shipping everything off by Friday. If I wasn't organized I wouldn't have been able to pull this off. Thank God for lists and my math skills, I did more math equations this week then I've done in years.

I made:
60 Mason Jar Cookies for Santa mix
60 Mason jar Hot Chocolate mix with homemade marshmallows
60 s'more kits with homemade graham crackers and marshmallows
60 mason jar herbal detox tea
60 peppermint, gingerbread, and almond sugar scrubs
30 bags of homemade almond brittle 

I can't believe I actually pulled everything off. 

Today I'm sharing the recipes to my detox tea and Hot Chocolate mix 

Both of these projects were made in mason jars for easy assembly. Make sure to layer your ingredients, it looks super cool when your done.



This herb tea is actually tasty, with a little honey 
 
I purchased all of my herbs from local Good Earth Store, you should be able to find everything at your local bulk herb store.

I also included 4 empty tea bags just to make it easier on peps

Place 2 tablespoon of each herb in a pint sized mason jar
