Experience the gentle alchemy of transforming dried herbs into a soothing elixir with the art of tea-making. Begin by intuitively selecting your herbs from your collection, allowing your instincts to guide your choices. For a single serving of tea, a tablespoon of each herb is ample, ensuring a balanced infusion of flavors and benefits.

Next, bring water to a rolling boil in a pot or kettle, using cooking water for the purest taste. As the water reaches its boiling point, prepare a tea filter or infuser with your chosen herbs. Remember, for a single serving, you need not exceed a tablespoon of each herb, allowing for a harmonious blend of flavors without overpowering the brew.

Once the water had boiled, carefully pour it over the herbs in your tea filter or infuser. Cover the pot or cup and let the herbs steep for approximately ten minutes, allowing the water to extract their healing properties fully. During this time, embrace the meditative quality of waiting, knowing that each passing moment deepens the infusion’s potency.

After the steeping period, remove the tea filter or infuser, allowing any excess liquid to drip back into the pot or cup. If desired, sweeten your tea with a spoonful of honey for a touch of natural sweetness. However, refrain from adding sugar, as it may detract from the tea’s healing properties.
