Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp juniper berries
- ½ tsp sage
- ½ tsp rosehips
- ½ tsp chamomile
- ½ tsp mullein
- 1 clove
- ½ tsp jasmine buds
- ¼ tsp Rosemary
Instructions
- Crush whole juniper berries in order to better release flavor and health benefits.
- Add crushed juniper seeds to a sachet or tea infuser, then place in a small pot with 1 cup of water over medium heat until it boils.
- Remove juniper seeds and pour the resulting tea over a sachet or infuser containing chamomile, sage, rosehips, mullein leaf, jasmine flowers, and rosemary. Steep for 5 minutes and enjoy.
Notes
- Because dried juniper berries often don't have a very strong taste in small quantities, boiling them helps release more of their flavor and color. You can skip this step if you prefer to use a kettle and steep them along with the other ingredients.
- I boil the berries in a sachet for the sake of quick & easy disposal, but you can boil them directly in the water and strain them out too.
- This is a great tea to drink before bed or in the morning!
- You can enjoy this juniper berry tea recipe hot or iced!
