It’s nearly the 31st of October, and it’s time to creep it real! A time when we dive into everything orange, black, green, purple and …candy! Well, in the UK, sweets, chocolates, toffee apples and anything high in sugar.
In fact, the whole of the UK loves to indulge and spend on Halloween on sugary treats, almost quadrupling in 10 years. In 2023, it was estimated that £1 billion would be spent on Halloween sugary treats by the British public.
Not only that, but many Halloween treats are highly unhealthy, being filled with artificial ingredients, high sugar content and additives. This makes them not the best Halloween treat at home to give to children, diabetic individuals and those with health conditions.
If you love to celebrate Halloween, try something different this year. Swap your Halloween treats at home for healthy herbal teas, and treat your taste buds to various flavours in this spooky season. Uncover the best herbal teas suited to Halloween with us below.
