Title: Immune Boosting Tea
Categories: Tea
Yield: 1 Serving
3 c Water
2 Astragalus root pieces
1 sl Fresh ginger; quarter sized
3 Black peppercorns;
- up to 5 (optional)
3 Cloves; up to 4 (optional)
10 Cinnamon bits (optional)
1/2 ts Honey; (optional)
Place 3 cups water in medium saucepan. Add astralagus root and
ginger. If you have a tendency towards being cold or have a cold add
peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon bits.
Bring decoction to a boil them immediately reduce to simmer for 10
minutes. Strain the herbs with a fine mesh strainer while catching
the liquid in a large mug. The remaining herbs can be saved for
another dose of fresh tea later in the day.
The properties of astragalus make it one of the best go-to immune and
energy boosting herbs. Astragalus is naturally sweet but if you
prefer you can sweeten your winter tonic with 1/2 ts honey.
Ginger warms the body and increases the body's ability to stave off
colds.
The addition of other warming herbs (black peppercorn, cloves, and
cinnamon) enhance this teas function of clearing out colds which
involve symptoms such as chills, headache, runny nose, thick nasal
discharge, and a scratchy throat.
