Mix up a big batch of this tea and enjoy it at the first sign of immune system sluggishness. We can’t make “medical claims” but I can say that this tea is wonderful to take in large copious doses at the first sign of cold or flu (or pretty much any infection) to help kick your immune system into high gear. It is especially useful for conditions that make you hot, and your body needs to sweat out the fever and cool down, while supporting proper immune system function.
Ingredients:
- 2 Parts Melissa officinalis (lemon balm)
- 2 Parts Rosa centifolia (rose petals)
- 2 Parts Echinacea purpurea (echinacea whole plant)
- 1 Part Mentha piperita (peppermint)
- 1 Part Sambucus nigra (elder flower)
- 1/2 Part Mentha spicata (spearmint)
- 1/2 Part Calendula officinalis (calendula flowers)
- 1/2 Part Trifolium pratense (red clover blossoms)
- 1/4 Part Cinnamomum burmannii (cinnamon chips)
- 1/8 Pat Stevia rebaudiana (stevia) (optional)
Directions:
Blend your dry tea together and store in a cool dry place. Boil 4 cups of water and, in a container like a large mason jar, pour the water over 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the tea blend. Cover with a tight lid and let steep 20-30 minutes. Strain the tea and serve while still hot.
