How (and why) to make a herb tea | |
|
Standard quantity
Teas are made from the lighter aerial parts of the plant e.g. leaves, flowers, buds and upper stalks. Boiling water left to brew with the herbs is all that is needed to gently impart the medicinal qualities and flavour to the recipient.
1 tsp (2-3g) dried petals or 2 tsp (4-6g) fresh petals to 1 cup (250ml) water |
|
let the tea infuse for 7 - 10 minutes
-
remove the tea sock and drink
-
if desired, add 1/2 tsp
(2.5ml) of organic, cold-pressed honey to sweeten.
However, it is worth noting that teas are usually
best drunk without added sweetness
- alternatively the infusion can be allowed to cool,
kept in a covered container in the refrigerator,
and drunk within 24 hours. If taken cold, a slice
of lemon or lime makes a tangy, colourful addition
