HOT BEVERAGE
1. Place 1g of dried herb (a tablespoon) in a closing teapot.
2. Add 200ml (a cup) of hot water, temperature 90 C*.
3. We wait for three to five minutes letting the herb take the hidden power out of it!Time depends on how “strong” we want our drink, the more leave it the stronger.
4. Remove the herb from the teapot.

Our drink is ready to enjoy!If you prefer flavour, add honey!
*We want our water to be just before the boiling point in order not to lose the essential oils of our herb with the steam, while the utensil must be closed in order to capture properties and aromas in our hot cup.

COLD BEVERAGE
Follow the steps as in the preparation of the hot with the only difference that we double the dose of the herb.
At the end we add our tea to a glass full of ice and enjoy it pure or with honey!
