In the cup, this tea mix produces an infusion that’s slightly grassy in flavor and scent with a golden yellow color. It’s an extremely healthful blend that can be used as the base for recipes designed for relaxation, recovery from illness and stress, and general support.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried Nettle leaf
  • 1 cup dried Oat tops
  • 1 cup dried Oat straw

Equipment

  • 1 spoon
  • a sealable container large enough to hold four dried cups of herbs
