Everyday Brewing Tips for Herbal Tea

• Always make in a closed container e.g. a mug covered with a saucer, a teapot or (my personal favourite) a cafetière.
• Use 1 heaped tsp of tea per cup. 
• Always begin with freshly boiled water. 
• Infuse for at least 15 min, ideally 30 minutes or longer Let it seep long enough to fully extract the plant's active compounds.
• You can top up your herbs throughout the day with more hot water - just allow extra infusing time, and always keep it covered. 
• Always use new dry herbs the following day.

How to Make Herbal Iced Tea

• Every blend can be enjoyed chilled - especially useful for those navigating menopausal heat. 
• Brew your blend as usual with freshly boiled water.
• Let it cool, the pour over ice. 
• you can sweeten it naturally, or sip it bare - just as the plants intended. 

How to Prepare Concentrated Herbal Tea

• Prepare as usual, but only use a small amount of freshly boiled water-  just enough to cover the herbs.
• Your tea will be strong, effective and beautifully concentrated.
• This method works beautifully with "Sleep" tea but any blend can be prepared in this way.
