Men and Tea: A Perfect Match While much of the herbal world focuses on women’s health issues—from puberty to menopause—men’s health often receives less attention. Today, we focus on the men in our lives with a tea blend designed to support prostate health and overall wellness.
Do Men Drink Tea? Though many commercials show men enjoying robust cups of coffee, the truth is that a significant number of men prefer tea. Tea offers a variety of flavors without the high caffeine content of coffee, and it can be enjoyed both hot and iced, making it a versatile beverage.
Tea for Men’s Health Men have specific health needs, including the care of their prostate. They also generally have higher caloric requirements and may engage in more physically demanding activities. Here are some recommended dried botanicals for a tea that supports prostate health and general wellness: holy basil, ginseng root, hawthorn berries, saw palmetto berries, ginger, molasses, and ginkgo leaves.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon holy basil
- 1 teaspoon ginseng root
- 1 teaspoon hawthorn berries
- ½ teaspoon saw palmetto berries
- ½ teaspoon ginger root
- ½ teaspoon molasses
- ½ teaspoon ginkgo leaves
Instructions
To Make:
- In a small bowl, mix the molasses and ginger root.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. This method ensures the molasses is evenly distributed rather than forming clumps.
- Store the mixture in a small jar until ready for use.
To Use:
- Steep a teaspoon of the blend in hot water for 7-10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- This tea can be enjoyed hot or iced. Molasses provides a gentle sweetness, but you can add honey or stevia for additional sweetness if desired.
Notes This recipe yields about 5 cups of tea. The quantities can be doubled or tripled if you wish to make a larger batch.
Benefits of Tea for Prostate Ingredients Each ingredient in this tea blend offers unique benefits that support men’s health:
- Holy Basil: An adaptogen that helps the body adjust to stress.
- Ginseng Root: Another powerful adaptogen known for boosting energy and vitality.
- Hawthorn Berries: Support blood flow and vein health.

Each of these ingredients can be beneficial on their own, but combined, they create a powerful tea blend to support the health of the men in your life.
