It’s no secret that people love their coffee… and their tea. These two drinks continue to remain at the top of the list when it comes to popular beverages. Hot or cold - fully caffeinated or decaf - the world just loves their brew! But did you know that Young Living has an entire collection of ingestible essential oils and they can totally bring your beverage game to the next level? In this scroll-through class we will discuss the Young Living Vitality oils and ways to incorporate them into your coffee and tea recipes. We’ll even chat about their incredible ready-made tea options and how to get the best deal possible on it all. Keep reading!

There are three main schools of thought when it comes to essential oil usage - the English, French, and German. The English model dilutes essential oils with a carrier oil and applies to the skin with the purpose of relaxation. The French model typically applies oils without a carrier and also ingests them. The German model focuses on inhalation of oils, also known as aromatherapy. Young Living combines those three models in hopes of experiencing the best possible results. As always, you are encouraged to do your own research and decide what works best for you and your family.

If you choose to ingest Young Living essential oils, they make it easy for you to know which ones are generally regarded as safe to consume with their white-labeled Vitality line. They are the exact same oils as their color-labeled twins, just with a special label that includes ingestion. The oils have also been non-GMO project verified and just like the rest of YL’s products, they are backed by their Seed to Seal quality commitment.

Young Living takes great pride in making sure you get a HIGH-quality essential oil and backs that guarantee all the way from the seed of the plant to the sealed bottle of oil. Check out some of the strict guidelines they abide by to fulfill their promise in sending only the best products to your home.

• plant material that is grown on corporately-owned farms or carefully vetted partner farms (that you CAN visit!)

• sustainable farming and sourcing practices, providing the purest oil

• great care is taken to preserve and protect natural resources

• hand-weeded fields and ZERO use of pesticides

• oils that retain all their natural constituents and therapeutic properties

• use of food-grade distillers with state-of-the-art design and distillation methods

• low pressure and low-temperature distillation, without the use of solvents or synthetic chemicals

• rigorous testing on each batch by internal labs and third-party facilities

• oils that are carefully reviewed through every step of production in order to meet or exceed industry safety and purity standards (beyond organic!)

And the best part… if the oils do not meet these high standards they are rejected and will not be bottled as a Young Living product. Check out more info on their Seed to Seal promise at www.seedtoseal.com.

Now that you know a little more about the Vitality line and what makes Young Living oils so unique, let’s talk about some specific ones and how to start using them in the world of hot and cold beverages.

First up - Lemongrass Vitality. This oil is full of bright, citrusy flavor and has a crisp, herbaceous bite to it. And listen to this - it may support overall wellness, the digestive system, connective tissue, and a healthy circulatory system when taken as a daily supplement. Try a drop in some honey and then stir into your favorite tea - hot or cold! You can even start with a toothpick swirl and see if you’d like more. Simply stick a toothpick inside the orifice of the plastic reducer inside the oil bottle. Then swirl that around in your drink.

Now let’s talk about one of my favorite citrus oils - Orange Vitality. This oil is packed with a sweet, citrus flavor profile and full of zestiness. Not only does it taste incredible in water, juice, smoothies, and NingXia Red, you can also add it to hot or cold tea! It contains the naturally occurring constituent limonene, has antioxidant properties, and cleanses the digestive system. How amazing! One thing to note: citrus oils can break down the petrochemicals in plastic so it’s safer to use stainless steel, glass, or ceramic when adding oils to your dishes and drinks.

Want to know something else pretty cool? Young Living carries a Bergamot Vitality oil. That’s the fruit that’s used to make Earl Grey tea!

Now it’s time to chat about two plants you’re probably pretty familiar with - Lavender and Rosemary. Did you know they pair pretty well with tea AND coffee?

Lavender Vitality has a sweet and slightly floral flavor. You might want to have time to relax when you use this one because it improves sleep quality for occasional sleeplessness. How cool! It also supports general wellness, contains cleansing and antioxidant properties and helps ease occasional nervous tension. Try adding a toothpick swirl into a cup of chamomile tea at bedtime!

Now let’s chat about Rosemary Vitality has a uniquely herbaceous taste and is usually found in savory recipes. However, it can pair quite nicely in a tea or coffee drink. It’s loved for its naturally occurring constituents eucalyptol and alpha-pinene, which can help maintain overall wellness when taken as a dietary supplement. It’s also one of the star essential oils in these Young Living products: Thieves, En-R-Gee, and JuvaFlex, Essentialzymes-4, and Inner Defense. Try one drop of Rosemary Vitality + 1 TBSP maple syrup and mix it into some milk or cream. Froth the milk; add to your coffee or latte and top with a small dash of sea salt. Voila!

Up next - two wildly popular oils - Peppermint Vitality and Spearmint Vitality. Just a reminder - the Vitality oils are exactly the same as their color-labeled versions. Same oil, different label. The labels just make it easier for you to know which ones are safe to ingest.

So what’s so good about Peppermint Vitality? This oil has a bright, cool flavor that is instantly recognizable. Not only can you add it to food, you can add it to coffee and teas… or hot chocolate! It’s pretty strong, so start with a toothpick swirl and go from there. The best part about this oil is its benefits. It supports gastrointestinal system comfort, enhances healthy gut function, maintains efficiency of the digestive tract, reduces feelings of discomfort after large meals, and may support performance during exercise. How amazing is that?! It’s such a powerhouse!

What about Spearmint Vitality? This oil has a slightly different minty taste than Peppermint. Some find it a little milder but still refreshing in flavor. It adds a unique cooling effect to food and drinks. It’s especially delicious in iced tea! This oil has the ability to help calm tummies and support normal digestion when taken as a dietary supplement. It also contains naturally occurring menthol, carvone, and limonene. If you aren’t familiar with those - just google "health benefits of . . .". You’ll be blown away with the benefits of consuming them.

So earlier we talked about Orange essential oil… now let’s talk about some more of the citrus oils Young Living has to offer for consumption - Lemon Vitality and Lime Vitality. Citrus oils are some of the most budget-friendly Young Living has so stock up or give them as gifts. They’re extremely versatile and can be used for a variety of things. It’s also important to note: citrus oils are cold-pressed from the rind so they don’t contain the same acidity level that the inside of the fruit has. In other words, you don’t have to worry about them messing with the enamel on your teeth!

First up - Lemon Vitality. If you joined Young Living with one of the Premium Starter bundles then you already have this gem. It’s got such a bright and dynamic flavor profile and can be added to both savory and sweet dishes. And of course you can add it to your tea or favorite beverage - hot or cold! This oil has antioxidant properties, supports the immune system, provides circulatory support, and contains cleansing properties.

Second is Lime Vitality. Just like lime zest would bring some flare to your dish, Lime Vitality adds a punch of citrus and elevates the flavor with a zing! This oil supports the skin as well as the lymphatic system, respiratory system, and immune system. Add a drop to some honey and stir into some hot or cold tea and drink up! It’s delicious!

You’ll also want to go check out Citrus Fresh Vitality, Jade Lemon Vitality, Grapefruit Vitality, and Tangerine Vitality. Citrus Fresh is a blend of Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Tangerine, Lemon, and Spearmint essential oils and tastes amazing! Jade Lemon has a bit of a lemon-lime flavor and is a member fav. Grapefruit has a slightly tart flavor but is packed with benefits! Tangerine is one of the sweetest oils available so it’s a surefire way to bring a little liquid sunshine into your life. Do look them up in your desk reference for health benefits!

Now it’s time to talk about some of those spicier options like Cinnamon Bark and Ginger! Remember - essential oils are highly concentrated so start small with a toothpick swirl and go up from there. You can adjust these to your liking!

Cinnamon Bark Vitality has a warm, spicy flavor that can enhance a variety of treats and drinks. You can substitute Cinnamon Bark Vitality in any recipe that calls for ground cinnamon so try a toothpick swirl in your freshly poured coffee OR try a drop or two in the grounds before you brew it! Trust me - you’ll smell that delicious nostalgic scent in an instant. This oil contains the naturally occurring constituent cinnamaldehyde, has antioxidant properties, and can help support a healthy digestive and immune system. It’s also one of the main oils found in the Thieves blend and the Inner Defense supplement so you know it’s powerful.

Ginger Vitality is distilled from the root of the ginger plant and is a great, versatile oil to keep handy in the kitchen. This oil pairs well with Fennel Vitality so try a toothpick swirl of each mixed into some honey and add it to your favorite hot tea - like Peppermint or Chamomile. The benefits of this oil come from its naturally occurring constituents zingiberene and beta-phellandrene. It’s also one of the key ingredients in several of Young Living’s digestion-supporting products: DiGize, Digest & Cleanse, EndoGize, ICP, and Essentialzymes-4. Think gut health!

Now for the last few oils we will talk about today - Thieves, Nutmeg, and Cardamom. Is anyone chompin’ at the bit - ready to try these oils in some recipes? That’s coming up next!

If you joined Young Living with a Premium Starter Bundle then you’re familiar with this first oil blend - Thieves Vitality. It is an absolute powerhouse! There’s an entire line of products based on this blend of Lemon, Clove, Eucalyptus Radiata, Cinnamon Bark, and Rosemary essential oils. It’s got a sweet and spicy flavor profile and makes a great addition to tea OR coffee. Thanks to the antioxidant properties within, you’re going to get immune system support, digestive support, and general wellness support with this blend.

Now for a personal favorite - Nutmeg Vitality. I love adding this one directly to my mug of coffee in the morning. It mixes in well with a little splash of creamer too. The smell of Nutmeg just brings me back to a cool day where I’m bundled in a sweater and baking holiday treats. Mmmm! So comforting. It has a slightly spicy, pungent flavor and brings such warmth to the dishes or beverages it’s added to. It has many health benefits, including cognitive function support, immune support, and powerful antioxidants.

Cardamom Vitality is steam distilled from cardamom seeds and is one of the world’s favorite cooking spices. Although it’s mainly used in a variety of baked goods and savory dishes, it also makes a great addition to a warm drink! I love adding a drop of Cardamom Vitality to a spoon, topping it with honey, then stirring it into a hot mug of dandelion root tea. Add a splash of Vanilla almond milk and voila - a delicious treat! This oil supports wellness and a healthy lifestyle, is a powerful antioxidant, and supports a healthy digestive system. It’s certainly a must-have for every kitchen.

There are tons of other Vitality oils available from Young Living. Take a minute after class to check them all out HERE.

Now for the moment you all have been waiting for - recipes! We will start off with some tea recipes using some of the Vitality oils we just discussed. Coffee recipes will be coming up soon!

Did you know Young Living has two ready-made tea bags that are already infused with essential oils? Yes! They’re super tasty, too! Let’s take a look…

Orange Rose Hip Black Tea - contains organic herbs and roots, including licorice root, rosehip, Assam black tea, and pu’erh tea. Prominent top notes of orange gently segue into a subtle flavor of honey that finishes with the simple, comforting taste of rosehip. It pairs well with Lemon Vitality essential oil which is included in your tea package.
Slique Tea - formulated with Jade oolong tea, Cacao, Sacred Frankincense resin powder. Stevia leaf extract gives this tea a slight sweetness and it all helps support individual weight goals. This tea is rich in flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. It also contains polyphenols, which makes it a great addition to a healthy diet and exercise plan.

So there are a few ways you can incorporate Vitality oils into your coffee routine. You can add a drop or toothpick swirl straight to the mug. You can add a drop or two to the coffee grounds before brewing. (Ex: add Cardamom, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, and Nutmeg to the grounds before brewing.) You can make up a simple syrup or infuse sugar with them. You can even get creative and use them in creamers. So many fun ways to add them! First, let me give you a few “fancy” drink recipes, then we will talk cream and sugar.

There’s just something about a cozy mug of creamy coffee that warms my soul. I know some people enjoy their coffee black, but I love my cream, especially when it’s infused with my favorite oils. For this recipe I will give you the base and then YOU get to decide what oils to add!

Fun Fact: This creamer recipe fits in an empty bottle of NingXia Red! So don’t toss those bottles. Recycle them by making your own custom coffee creamers.

You can really elevate your coffee game and achieve that coffee shop “fancy” taste with these next tricks. Creating a simple syrup is an easy way to add a sweet flare to your brew.
