What Does “1 Part” Mean?

When making herbal blends, “1 part” refers to any consistent measurement you choose. It could be a tablespoon, a cup, or even a handful, as long as you use the same unit for all ingredients. For example:

If you choose 1 part = 1 tablespoon, then ½ part = ½ tablespoon.
If you choose 1 part = 1 cup, then ½ part = ½ cup.

The flexibility allows you to make a small batch or a large one, depending on your needs!

1 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers
1 tablespoon dried lemon balm leaves
1 tablespoon dried holy basil (tulsi) leaves
½ tablespoon dried lavender flowers
½ tablespoon dried rose petals

Optional Add-Ins:

¼ tablespoon dried orange peel – For a bright, citrusy note.
