For maximum benefit, medicinal tea must be properly prepared. Pour 8 oz. freshly boiled water over a tea bag in a cup. Cover cup and steep 10-15 minutes. These steps directly influence the amount of beneficial components that will end up in your teacup! Gently squeeze the tea bag to release the remaining extract.
Drink 3 or more cups daily or as needed. Gargle before swallowing for maximum effect. To enhance benefits, add honey, especially in dry climates.
For an extra strength brew, use two teabags or brew up a whole pot using four or five teabags.
