The Alder Moon symbolises the reawakening of the Earth Mother's fertility for another cycle. Your emphasis during the month of the Alder Moon should be on harnessing your hidden potential. This tea is used to increase spirituality and to give one a sense of wholeness of being.
Generally, I keep the Linden and Hibiscus blend in a jar. I generally steep that as I would normal tea, and once it is done, I add the cranberry juice and cream. Tastes amazing cold as well!
