Yes, I’m afraid it’s true. Our herbs have actually made people vomit! While it’s certainly not common, it can happen.
So how’s that for a great sales pitch and selling point?…. NOT!
But honestly, there isn’t much we can do about their uniquely natural flavors. Powerful herbs come with powerful flavors, so in this video, I want to show you one of the best methods for making our powdered herbs taste better.
You’ve heard the saying, “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down,” right?
Well, unlike other companies we don’t want to throw a bunch of crap into our herbs, whether that is sugar or, even worse in my opinion,
artificial sweeteners. As much as possible we want to deliver 100% herbs to you and nothing else.
But there are some herbs that taste good. Two of my favorites because they’re naturally sweet with natural sugars, are Goji Berry Freeze Dried Powder and Beet Juice Powder.
And unlike sugar or artificial sweeteners, the addition of these will add more health benefits to the drink you’re making. Beet is most well-known for its nitric oxide boosting benefits. Goji is known as the happy berry for helping with mood, for supporting the immune system and much more.
While these don’t completely mask the flavor of stronger herbs, such as Phoenix Formula, they do make it more palatable.
Understand that taste buds are malleable. While many people find some of the herbs objectionable tasting at first, within the time they get used to them and even crave the flavor.

Lost Empire Herbs
I have found that I can make a tea. I would add the powdered herb to 8 oz of warm (not boiling) water. I’ve read (on this website) that boiling water could compromise the integrity of the herbs, in some cases. I would also add a teaspoon or so of stevia extract or natural cane sugar, and a teaspoon or more of lemon juice. I am not sure if the acidity of the lemon juice plays a role in the herbal composition, but I’m hoping not. So far, all of the powders have gone down easy with this concoction. Although, I’ve only ever done one herb at a time. I expect to “stack” a few together for efficiency’s sake, which may call for a bit more stevia and/or lemon juice, to taste, but we shall see. I typically aim to put as little of those in, as possible.
That’s a great way to do it. I’m not aware of the lemon juice having effects on herbs.
