Herbal Teas

These teas are better in loose leaf form instead of tea bags to avoid wastage that happens when only 1 cup needs to be made. Quite often tea bag material is suspect because some brands use nylon bags which is not good in boiling water and it defeats the purpose of a healthy drink.

To make the teas: Boil water and take it off the gas. Put 1/2 teaspoon leaves per person in the water and stir it. Then close the cup / vessel for 3-4 mins. Open, strain out the tea and drink it after the temp lessens. Do not add sugar or jaggery or any other sweetener. Do not eat or drink anything after it for 1/2 hr for the best health benefits.
