Teas for herbal medicine are different than teas for pleasure and enjoyment. Teas for pleasure have just enough herb to give flavor, but might not have enough herb to give the herbal benefit.
To brew a tea you need:
- 1 tablespoon dried herbs
- boiling or just boiled water
- a cup or single serving tea pot
- A cover for the cup
Place the dried herbs in a tea strainer or suspended strainer in the cup or teapot. Pour just boiled water over the dried herbs, till they are fully covered and submerged. Place a cover over the cup, and set a five minute timer.
After the five minute timer is up, your herbal tea is ready. Sweeten with honey if desired.
