Preparation steps
1. In a covered * container (teapot, mug with lid, pot), steep 2 to 3 tsp of the tea blend in 1 cup of hot water for at least 10 minutes.
* The lid keeps the herbs' essential oils from evaporating and keeps them in the infusion!
How to use it
Drink 2 to 4 cups a day.
Okay, I have to admit, this is a far cry from nice, comforting fruity teas...! If the bitterness makes you grimace, add 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup.
