Total time
Equipment: 8-cup glass Pyrex measuring cup, Mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Author: Magdalena Wszelaki
Ingredients
- 4½ cups filtered water
- ½ cup oatstraw (Avena sativa)
- ½ cup stinging nettles (Urtica dioica)
- ¼ cup red raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus)
- ¼ cup peppermint (Mentha piperita)
- ¼ cup marshmallow leaf (Althaea officinalis)
- 1 tablespoon licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
- 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
How To Make
- In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
- Place all the herbs in the Pyrex measuring cup. Pour the boiling water over the herbs, stir, and cover with a silicone or glass lid. Let steep for 2 to 8 hours.
- Use a mesh strainer or cheesecloth (the latter is my preferred method to squeeze all the liquid out) to strain the tea into a pitcher or other glass container. The infusion should produce 1 quart of tea.
- Stir in the molasses and drink 2 cups per day. Store the tea in the refrigerator and drink within 3 days.
Notes
Precautions:
Oatstraw: omit if you have Celiac or Crohn’s disease.
Marshmallow: omit if you are taking medications throughout the day. It interferes with medicine absorption and can only be taken 2 hours or more before any medication is ingested.
Licorice: omit if you have hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure)
