From fresh herbs: place a handful of the herbs into a glass, enamel or stainless pot, cover with cool water and lid, and slowly heat until steaming, but not boiling. Turn off the heat and let infuse 5-30 minutes. The longer your tea infuses, the stronger its flavor. Compost the plant material.

From dry leaves and/or flowers: boil 1 cup of water. Place 1-2 Tablespoons of dried herbs into a tea pot, glass canning jar or tea infuser. Pour the hot water over the herbs, cover with a lid or small plate, and let infuse for 5-15 minutes. Strain and compost the plant material.

From dry roots: place 6 tablespoons of chopped, dried roots into a glass, enamel or stainless pot. Cover with 4-5 cups of water and simmer for 20-30 minutes, covered. Turn off heat, strain and compost the plant material.

Liquid herbal extracts are usually taken by placing the liquid drops under the tongue for a more rapid absorption. However these extracts have a higher concentration of organic grain alcohol to extract herb components more efficiently. This high concentration that can be too strong for some people. In addition to it some botanical material have a bitter flavor so to avoid these issues we recommend to place the liquid drops in 1/4 cup of room temperature water and drink it all.
