5 Incredible Winter Garden Teas (+ Powerful Herb Combinations to Try)

5 Incredible Winter Garden Teas (+ Powerful Herb Combinations to Try)

May 7, 2026 |

Winter in the garden somehow turns all of us into tea people 😅 One minute you’re outside in two jerseys trying to pull weeds between the rain… and the next minute you’re standing in the kitchen clutching a giant mug of something warm while staring dramatically out the window at your cabbages.

And honestly? Some of the best winter teas can come straight from the garden. A few sprigs of mint, thyme, rosemary, or lemon verbena can completely change a cold winter morning. Not only do these herbs smell incredible, but many have traditionally been used to help soothe sore throats, warm the body, calm upset stomachs, and simply make winter feel a little more cozy.

The best part? Most of them are incredibly easy to grow here in South Africa — even in containers. So if you’ve been looking for an excuse to turn your garden into a little winter tea station… this is it

Here are my top 5 herbs to drink through winter, what they are traditionally used for, and some delicious herb combinations that work beautifully together.

Carrots, beetroot, radishes, turnips… all of them rely on what’s happening under the surface. And if your soil isn’t right, no amount of watering, feeding, or hoping will fix it.

So let’s get this right from the start — because once your soil is sorted, root veggies become some of the easiest and most rewarding crops to grow.

Don’t Waste Your Winter Rain

Don’t Waste Your Winter Rain

Winter rain can feel like a gift — especially in areas that rely on it — but rain on its own doesn’t build a thriving garden. The real difference lies in what happens after the rain falls.

Too often, water runs off, drains away too quickly, or disappears before your soil has had a chance to truly benefit from it. Healthy soil should act like a sponge — holding onto moisture and releasing it slowly over time. And winter is the perfect season to start building that kind of system into your garden.
