INGREDIENTS 1 Tbsp Whole Dried Elderberries 1 Tbsp Dried Chamomile Flowers 1 Tbsp Dried Dandelion Root 1 Tbsp Dried Rosehips (better if they are seedless) 1 Tbsp Dried Lemon Grass 1 Tbsp Dried Ginger 1 Tbsp Dried Turmeric 1 Tbsp Dried Eucalyptus Leaf 2 Tbsp Dried Mullein Leaves 1/4 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper DIRECTIONS 1. Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a mortar and using the pestle grind/break up the herbs & spices. No need to make a powder, just break it up enough to open up the spices so they release more of their goodness. 2. Spoon contents into tea filter funnel (see picture) and place in half gallon jar or in a large tea bag and place in pitcher. 3. Let mixture cold brew steep in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours for max potency. Remove tea filter or tea bag and discard. * This mixture is can be spicy (mostly from the ginger) and can be “cooled” down with honey. Don’t microwave this for hot tea, it will destroy all the good stuff you just steeped. ** Tea Bag Method - On Step 1 when you are grinding the mixture to break it up, you will want to grind a little longer to make more of a rough powder so you can divide evenly into tea bags. For the large tea bags it will fit half of the mixture and you can use a quart jar for the cold brew. If you want to do individual servings and steep with hot water, use smaller tea bags and only put about a tablespoon of the mixture in it. Serving size 4 to 8 oz. Products I Use
