We think it's time to make ourselves a tea with a little extra power. Something that warms us from the inside and makes life flow back into us.
At Örtfabriken we love using herbs in our everyday lives. We cook with the herbs, use them to strengthen the body and also for our spiritual development. But perhaps the ceremony of making a cup of tea is especially strengthening. Taking the time, the process of selecting your herbs and the meditativeness of letting the herbs gently steep in the hot water.
Then slowly bring the cup of tea towards you, feel the warmth and let the aroma rise towards you. Taste the tea. Feel the herb within you.
The recipe we want to offer is a beautiful and powerful tea with a little bit of a kick. Hope you enjoy it.
Here is our recipe for a cup of tea:
1 tsp Rose petals
1 tsp Marigold leaves
1/2 tsp Sage
1 tsp Burdock root
A pinch of Cayenne pepper
In this tea you use both roots (decoction) and flowers and leaves (infusion). Therefore, make it in two steps. Boil a cup of hot water. First pour in the burdock root. Let simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Then pour in the roses, marigolds and sage and cover with a lid (do not boil). Let steep for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer. Season with honey.
