Ingredients & Their Benefits

  • 1 tablespoon dried yarrow (flowers & leaves): The hero of this recipe, yarrow offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive support.
  • 1 teaspoon dried peppermint (optional): Enhances the tea’s flavor and supports sinus relief and digestion.
  • 1 teaspoon dried chamomile (optional): Calming and anti-cramp properties help enhance relaxation.
  • 1 cup boiling water: Extracts the medicinal compounds from the herbs.
  • Raw honey (to taste): Natural sweetener with antimicrobial properties.
  • Lemon slice (optional): Adds brightness and boosts vitamin C absorption.

 Instructions

  1. Measure herbs: Add 1 tablespoon dried yarrow to a tea infuser or mug. Add peppermint and chamomile if using.
  2. Boil water: Bring water to a boil and let cool for about 30 seconds (200°F / 93°C).
  3. Steep: Pour hot water over the herbs and cover. Steep for 10–15 minutes to extract full benefits.
  4. Strain and sweeten: Remove herbs, then stir in honey and add a lemon slice if desired.
  5. Sip and enjoy: Drink slowly while warm for the most soothing effect.
