1. Add the herbs in equal parts to a large infusion ball or reusable teabag and toss it all into your teapot, along with the non-herb ingredients, if any.
2. Boil up some water and pour it on in.
3. Let steep for 5-10 minutes.
[Optional, add honey to the bottom of your mug (my favorite is Bio-Active Manuka* Honey)]
Pour yourself a big dose, and feel better soon.
* Manuka is better known to us as Tea tree (Leptospermum scoparium), a flowering bush from New Zealand and South East Australia. Honey containing Manuka flower pollen has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Most good health food stores will have some available.
You know I am not a doctor, so any information I have to
offer is not a prescription, but a soothing recipe.
