SPICEBUSH TEA



Spicebush Tea image

This is a delicious and medicinal tea (for whatever ails you), but you'll have to head for the eastern woodlands to gather the main ingredient, spicebush. Also, it is a seasonal tea as the twigs are best gathered in the Spring after the sap has come up but before the leaves gain any size.

Time 35m

Yield 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces spicebush twigs (4"-6" long)
2 tablespoons honey
2 1/2 quarts water

Steps:

  • Gather the spicebush twigs, stripping off any leaves.
  • Break the twigs into 4"-6" lengths.
  • Place twigs in a three-quart pan and add the water.
  • Bring to a rolling boil, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, until the tea takes on a slightly yellow coloration.
  • Strain the tea into a gallon jar, using a colander.
  • Add the honey and stir.
  • (Sometimes I use plain sugar or sorghum molasses, depending on what is in my cabinet).
  • Serve hot.
  • You can store it in the refrigerator and microwave it as you use it.
  • It will keep for at least a week.
  • TIP: 8 ounces of twigs will pretty much fill a three-quart pan.

SAGE & MINT TEA (FOR SORE THROATS AND MORE...)



Sage & Mint Tea (For Sore Throats and More...) image

I have been reading about the medicinal qualities of sage, specifically for sore throats that are plaguing my family right now. I came across this recipe on ehow.com, as well as a few other sites with virtually the same ingredients and method. I really enjoyed the flavour of this tea, it didn't feel like taking your medicine at all. I saved the leftovers and enjoyed it as cold iced tea today. Not sure it has the same medicinal benefits cold, but it sure tasted great. You can also use this warm as a gargle. As with all herbal remedies, you need to do your own homework. I know that you should avoid sage if you are pregnant or nursing, (since sage is used to help dry up milk production after weaning babies). Hopefully you've got some fresh sage and mint growing so that you can try this without having to spend a lot at the grocery store.
