INGREDIENTS: Herbs, Filtered/Spring Water, Tea Kettle or Jar with a Lid

RATIO: 2 TBSP of herbs per cup of water

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Boil water: Bring fresh, clean water to a boil

  • Add the Herbs: Place your herbs according to the ratio above in a heat-safe jar with a lid (Mason Jars) or tea kettle.

  • Pour and Cover: Pour the hot water over the herbs, then cover immediately with a lid. (Covering herbs keeps the volatile oils from escaping)

  • Sweeten: Use a sweetener of your choice. Local Honey, Stevia, and Maple Syrup are great choices.
