The Herbal Brew

Ingredients

Like all the Brews this one is inspired my the plants that excite me.

I've been drinking Nettle tea everyday since my 20's and i absolutely love it! Its a wonderful herb for women as its so full of minerals and I credit it with not being deficient in ANYTHING when I’m tested by kinesiology!

I’ve added Oatstraw after reading Susun S Weeds fabulous book New Menopausal Years and learning how many ways it can support us.

Each bag contains 30 servings, enough to last the month.

Directions

Put 1 heaped tablespoons in a jar.

Splash of cold water first then fill with boiling water. 

Put on air tight lid.

Leave for  at least 4 hours to get all the good stuff. (Over night is ideal)

Heat up and drink as you wish. I use it as a cordial, put a third in a mug then top up with hot water. That way it lasts most of the day and saves money on expensive herbal tea bags.

Alternately you can just heat in a pan and have it all in one drink or drink cold.
