This blend of fresh herbs is safe for children and is calcium-rich. I mix it with my 3 yo's juice and he hasn't noticed. I make 2 quarts, add honey and cool for ice tea. Serving size depends on how much you decide to make. Ingredients:
3/4 cup rose hips |
1/2 cup lemon balm |
1/2 cup oat straw |
1/4 cup nettles |
1/4 cup raspberry leaf |
1/2 ceylon cinnamon stick, crushed into pieces |
1 pinch stevia |
Directions:
1. Mix and keep in air-tight, glass, stainless steel or ceramic container. If stored properly, it will last 3-6 months.
2. Use the soft stick cinnamon, as it crushes better.
3. Use 1 1/2 tsp per single serving (6-8 oz water.).
4. If you want to make a larger amount in a pot, boil the amount of water and then add 1 1/2 tsp PER SERVING to the water.
5. Turn off the heat and let steep for 10-20 minutes (I usually do 20).
6. Strain, add sweetener and place in a pitcher to cool in the fridge (or drink as hot tea.)
7. Or, make up as a gift by putting the herb blend in a pretty container.
