How to Make a Proper Infusion Tea
Take 1 heaping teaspoonful of mixed/single herb and pour 1 cup of just boiled water over the herb. Cover and steep at 10-15 minutes; strain and sweeten with honey. Typical dose is 3 times daily unless otherwise recommended. You may multiply this by four to make 1 Liter at a time in advance. You may keep this in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Add 2-3 teaspoons of honey to this to maintain freshness. Honey is antiseptic and a natural preservative. Most tea treatments can be taken cold as well as hot. Some must be hot, ie. Diaphoretics. Do not microwave! This alters the biochemistry of the medicinal tea potentially causing it to be ineffective. Reheat on the stovetop.
