Herbal Tea Recipes - Episode 5
Jessica's Christmas Herbal Tea
2 inch cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
2 teaspoons organic dandelion root
2 teaspoons dried ginger root
1 teaspoon dried orange peel
1 teaspoon dried licorice root
1 green cardamom pod, cracked
2 whole cloves
Add ingredients to 1-2 cups filtered water and bring to a boil and then let simmer for 5-10 minutes (depending on how strong you want it)
Add raw, local honey to taste
Carla's Spice Tea
This recipe makes about 9 quarts of tea, that can be stored in the refrigerator for at least a week. Use of organic ingredients is recommended.
Fill a 10-quart stock pot to within an inch of the top with filtered water, and place the pot on a stove burner Add:
10 pieces of 2-3 inch cinnamon sticks
The following can be added to the pot individually to float in the water, or place all in a large tea ball (so I can remove all the small pieces without straining the whole pot of tea) then place the filled tea ball into the stock pot:
2 tablespoons herbal rooibos tea
3 or 4 inch chunck of fresh ginger root, cleaned or peeled, then sliced
(can use dried ginger root, maybe 2 tablespoons, or to taste)
1 tablespoon whole cloves
5 whole cardamom pods, cracked
1 whole nutmeg, cracked
8 black pepper corns
Bring to a boil; boil 10 minutes. Turn off the stove burner. Allow pot to cool for at least 2 hours, letting flavors integrate.
Fill a large coffe mug with tea and drink warm. Raw, local honey and/or full-fat organic canned coconut milk can be added to taste.
When the remaining tea in the pot has cooled, use a large ladel to divide the tea up into 8 or 9 glass quart jars, placing cinnamon sticks and contents of tea ball into compost or trash. Secure lids on jars, place in refrigerator.
Elderberry Syrup
Use organic ingredients when possible.
2/3 cup organic dried elder berries
3-1/2 cup filtered water
1 piece 2-3 inch cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon whole cloves
2-3" chunk fresh ginger root, cleaned and sliced. (Or 2 tablespoon dried ginger root)
Place all ingredients into a saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer, uncovered, and let it simmer 30-40 minutes, or until about one-third or half of the water has evaporated.
Pour through a strainer into a glass bowl or 4-cup measuring cup. Allow to cool until still slightly warm.
Add 1 cup raw, local honey.
Stir until honey dissolves.
Store in a glass jar in refrigerator for up to 30 days. Adult serving: 1 tablespoon of the syrup by mouth per day. Child serving: half of this
Baby: consult your health care provider of choice
This is to boost your immune system, and is especially helpful if you are having flu-type symptoms of fever, achiness, etc. In cases of flu-symptoms, an adult serving can be increased to a 2 oz. glass once or twice a day for only 1-2 days if needed, then return to the normal serving dose.
