There’s something comforting and magical about a warm cup of tea. It’s not just a drink—it’s a moment. A little ritual. A time to pause, to breathe, to center. And for witches, it can also be a chance to weave a bit of spellwork into everyday life without lighting a single candle or casting a circle.
Potion magick isn’t all bubbling cauldrons and wild herbs gathered under a full moon (though those are fun too). It can be as simple as steeping intention into a mug. With the right mindset and a few easy steps, your morning tea can turn into a powerful spiritual tool—one that heals, protects, energizes, or draws in love depending on what your spirit needs.
Charging a cup of tea is all about energy. You’re not just drinking herbs—you’re drinking purpose. And when you take a few seconds to infuse that cup with your energy, your hopes, and your magick, you’re turning it into a little spell in disguise. That’s the beauty of this kind of work. It’s quiet. It’s gentle. It fits right into the real world.
So if you’re someone who enjoys a good brew and believes in the unseen, you’re going to love this. Let’s talk about how to spiritually charge a cup of tea and turn it into a delicious, steamy dose of potion magick—simple, sacred, and just for you.
How to Spiritually Charge a Cup of Tea
Step 1: Choose Your Intention
Before you even boil the water, ask yourself what you want this tea to do for you. Is it a tea to calm your anxiety? To give you energy? To protect your aura? To call in love? Every magical working starts with a clear intention, and potion magick is no different.
Write your intention down if it helps. Keep it short and specific—something like: “I drink this tea to welcome peace,” or “This tea calls in clarity and focus.” You can whisper it, chant it, or just think it with purpose. Your energy knows the way.
Step 2: Pick the Right Herbs or Tea Blend
Now choose a tea that matches your intention. Herbs have natural spiritual properties, so you want the tea’s energy to align with your goal. Here are a few quick magickal correspondences to get you started:
-
Chamomile – peace, protection, sleep
-
Peppermint – clarity, healing, clearing negativity
-
Rose – love, self-love, heart healing
-
Ginger – courage, passion, personal power
-
Lemon balm – joy, calm, emotional healing
-
Lavender – relaxation, spiritual connection, dreams
-
Green tea – energy, prosperity, cleansing
You can mix herbs too. Trust your instincts, and go with what feels good.
Step 3: Create a Sacred Moment
You don’t need a fancy altar or big ritual space for this part—just a moment of mindfulness. As the water heats, take a few deep breaths. Let go of any stress. Be present. You’re about to make magick.
When you pour the hot water over your tea or herbs, visualize your intention flowing into the cup with it. Imagine the steam rising with your desire, whispering it out into the universe. See the tea glowing with light, pulsing with your energy.
You can stir the tea clockwise to bring something in (like confidence or love) or counterclockwise to release something (like fear or stress). As you stir, repeat your intention out loud or in your mind.
Step 4: Add a Little Extra Magick (Optional)
You can enhance your tea spell with a few extras if you feel called:
-
Crystals: Place a crystal beside your cup while you steep (rose quartz for love, clear quartz for power, amethyst for spiritual connection).
-
Honey or sugar: Sweeten your spell with something delicious. While you stir it in, say something like, “I welcome sweetness into my life.”
-
A candle: Light a small candle beside you while you drink to represent fire and transformation.
-
Symbols: Draw a sigil on the bottom of your mug or on a piece of paper under it. Charge it with your intention.
None of these are required. Your focus and intention are the real magick.
Step 5: Drink It With Presence
Now drink your potion slowly and with purpose. Don’t scroll your phone or rush through it. Feel the warmth in your hands. Breathe in the scent. Taste the herbs. Let every sip be a small spell, every swallow a deeper commitment to your intention.
You might even want to close your eyes between sips and imagine the energy soaking into your body. Picture yourself glowing with it, becoming it.
This is your moment. Enjoy it.
Bonus: Moon Tea Magick
If you want to take things further, try making your spiritual tea under the moonlight. Brew it during a full moon for charging, a new moon for fresh starts, or a waning moon to let go of something.
You can even make cold “moon tea” by placing herbs and water in a jar and letting it sit under the moon overnight, then drinking it the next day with the sun. That way, you get both moon and solar energy in one brew. Extra powerful.

A Cup Full of Power
Potion magick doesn’t have to be dramatic or secretive. It can be gentle, comforting, and woven into your everyday routines. A simple cup of tea can become a ritual, a spell, a prayer—something just for you and your energy.
So next time you boil water and choose your favorite mug, remember: your tea can be more than a drink. It can be a spell in disguise, a little sip of spiritual support whenever you need it. And that, dear witch, is a kind of magick that never runs out.
