Audit hold: The former ashwagandha, tulsi, passionflower, lemon balm and rose blend, including its stronger-root, pepper, hibiscus, schisandra and frozen-fruit variations, is withdrawn. Do not prepare, taste or consume a batch using those directions. No ingredient amounts, dosing schedule or Recipe output is supplied for this procedure.

What the Review Found

The cold extraction instructions conflicted between room-temperature and refrigerated steeping. Neither established a microbial control step. BfR advises boiling water and a minimum five-minute infusion for herbal tea; a cold soak cannot be substituted for that preparation.

The root guidance also confused concentrated branded ashwagandha extracts with raw root. NCCIH identifies pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver and medication concerns. A drink page cannot infer the dose or suitability of this mixed preparation from supplement studies.

What Remains Unresolved

The identity and form of each ingredient, extraction method, combined exposure and user suitability need review before any recipe is restored. Hot brewing alone would not settle these questions. Rhodiola and schisandra mentioned in the former FAQ are not suggested replacements. The cortisol-lowering, adrenal-support and stress-treatment claims have been removed.

For a culinary drink, choose a packaged food tea with clear preparation instructions that suits your circumstances. This page does not prescribe a daily ritual or a treatment timeline. No kitchen or clinical testing was performed.
