Overview
Mild Herbal Tea is a drink in Crimson Desert brewed from medicinal herbs, honey, and water at a cauldron. Unlike cooked meals that restore health, drinks primarily restore spirit, the resource consumed by combat abilities and special skills. Mild Herbal Tea is a soothing herbal blend that provides dependable spirit recovery for players who rely on ability-heavy combat styles.
The recipe falls under the Drinks subcategory within Provisions. Brewing requires a Cauldron, found at the Greymane Camp and in select towns across Pywel. Because it uses Medicinal Herbs rather than common vegetables, Mild Herbal Tea occupies a middle ground between the cheap Oakwood Mushroom Tea and the more expensive Honey Tea in terms of ingredient availability.

Mild Herbal Tea restores spirit on consumption, helping players maintain their ability usage during extended fights and exploration. Spirit is the resource that powers combat skills for Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka, so keeping a supply of spirit-restoring drinks is essential for ability-focused builds.
Ingredient Details
Medicinal Herb refers to the healing herbs found growing in meadows, along riverbanks, and in forest clearings throughout Pywel. They appear as small green plants with a gathering prompt when you get close. Medicinal Herbs are also used in Alchemy recipes, so keep your stockpile balanced between cooking and potion-making.
Honey is harvested from beehives attached to large trees and occasionally found on cliff faces. Beehive locations are scattered throughout Pywel, appearing more frequently near rivers and forest edges. Honey is a relatively uncommon ingredient compared to basic vegetables and herbs, so stockpile it when you find beehives. If you have unlocked beekeeping at the Greymane Camp, your camp will produce honey over time, providing a steady supply.
Water can be collected from any river, lake, or well. Water sources are abundant across the map, so this ingredient is rarely a bottleneck.
How to Brew
To brew Mild Herbal Tea, find a cauldron at the Greymane Camp or in a town crafting area. Interact with the cauldron and select the Drinks category from the cooking menu. Choose Mild Herbal Tea, confirm that you have the required ingredients, and press "Make" to brew the drink.
The Mild Herbal Tea recipe can be obtained from herbalist merchants in settlements or discovered as a scroll on shelves during exploration. Once the recipe scroll has been read, the recipe is permanently learned.
Tips
Carry Mild Herbal Tea alongside health-restoring food like Grilled Meat so you have both health and spirit covered during boss fights.
Since Medicinal Herbs are also used in Alchemy, prioritize farming them if you plan to use both cooking and alchemy extensively.
If you need more spirit restoration per drink, consider Oakwood Mushroom Tea or Honey Tea, which offer additional buffs like health regeneration or stamina regeneration.
