FAQs

Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?

Yes, maple syrup can be used as a substitute, but the texture may be slightly softer, and the flavor will be different. Honey helps the tea bombs set firmer.

Can I make these tea bombs without spices?

Absolutely. You can customize your tea bombs with just honey, lemon, and your choice of herbal tea if you prefer a milder flavor.
