How To Make A Cold & Flu Healing Tea

By Carrie at Askiy Tea

Yarrow has been used traditionally to treat fever and diarrhea. Wild Mint is a great complementary plant because it helps with congestion and inflammation.

Cold and Flu Blend

10 grams masân (Nettle)
10 grams wâpanewask (Yarrow)
10 grams âmiskowêhkask (Wild Mint)

Instructions:

Combine plants and store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight for up to 2 years.
To prepare drinking tea, use about 5 grams of tea blend for each 250 mL of water.
Do not pour boiling water over your herbs, or you will burn the leaves. Bring the water to a boil and let it sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before adding the herbs.
You can use a tea strainer of some kind, or just let it sit in the cup.

Allow the tea to steep for at least 5 minutes.
