Step-by-Step Preparation
Measure the Herbs
Mix yarrow with chamomile or mint if using to create a balanced flavor.
Heat the Water
Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil, then allow it to cool slightly for about a minute to protect the herbs.
Steep
Place the herbs in a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over them, cover, and let steep for 10–12 minutes.
Strain & Sweeten
Strain the tea into a cup. Add honey or maple syrup if desired.
Finish with Lemon
Add a slice or a splash of lemon for a fresh, citrusy touch and a boost of vitamin C.
