Teatime

Windsor Court Hotel, New Orleans spa, spa teatime, teatime, immunity boost, immune system boost, wellness teaTo me teatime is a special afternoon moment filled with fancy treats, and of course, hot tea. Most spas I’ve visited offer their own tea blend to all guests upon arrival or while waiting in the relaxation room. Some offer tea and treatment pairings to elevate the experience further. Teatime isn’t all frills, it can also help fight illness as well, and a perfect example is in New Orleans. The Windsor Court Hotel’s Therapeutic Tea is one you can make it anytime you need an extra immune boost:

Juice of half a lemon
