Equipment

  • infuser basket
  • handled mug
  • fine mesh strainer
  • small plate or tea cover
  • small pot

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place your tea in an infuser basket and place it inside a mug. If you don’t have an infuser basket, you can make the infusion and then strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into your mug.
  • Boil the water and pour it over the herbs. Cover with a small plate (or a tea cover if you have one) and allow the tea to infuse for no more than 5-10 minutes in order to preserve the more delicate constituents
  • Remove the infuser basket and sweeten the tea with honey, maple syrup, etc. if desired before serving.
