Greek Mountain Tea

I love drinking this cozy herbal tea to fight a winter cold, or any time I need a little extra comfort. See notes for iced and single cup options.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 9 grams tea (about 6 large sprigs)
  • Honey, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Get ready. Bring the water to a boil in a kettle or small pot. Place the tea–flowers, sprigs and all–in your pot or mug, discarding just the bottom stems where they’re very thick. (I typically break the branches in half or quarters to fit.)
  • Brew. Pour the boiling water over the tea. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes (or to taste), then strain or simply use a spoon to scoop out the sprigs.
  • Serve. Finish with a small spoonful of honey, if you’d like.
