Herbal teas are a lovely way to be creative and experience herbs on a daily basis. Brewing herbal teas can take on different forms and tastes, including juice-like creations when dried berries are used as the main ingredients. These berry teas are a wonderful way to gain nutrient benefits from herbs. In this episode I am sharing my current favorite method for brewing herbal tea that feels more like a juice. Thank you for joining me.
Tea “Juice” Decoction
¼ cup dried elderberries
¼ cup dried hawthorn berries
¼ cup dried sea buckthorn berries
⅛ cup dried goji berries
⅛ cup dried rose hips
1 tablespoon hibiscus
1 tablespoon dried ginger
1 cinnamon stick
2 pieces turkey tail mushrooms
6 peppercorns
8-9 cups water
Combine herbs and water in 4 quart stock pot. Cover and bring to gentle boil on medium heat. Turn to lowest setting, simmer for 40 minutes. Remove from heat, continue to steep covered until cool. Strain into Mason jars and refrigerate.
