Teas
All
of these medicinal herbs are grown or wildcrafted organically,
ethically and sustainably (with love) by Kathy and Jay. They are
processed and packaged with these same values. You will only find herbs
that will grow in Iowa on this page!!
Tea
is the standard water-based preparation of taking herbs for their full
range of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. It's best to pour
hot/boiling water over a tablespoon (for a cup) of dried leaf/root/bark
and let it steep covered for 10 to 20 minutes. Honey, lemon,
and/or milk are wonderful additions for taste and medicinal benefits.
Infusions
are the most medicinally potent water-based herbal
preparation. They contain more herbal matter and are steeped much
longer (usually over night). An infusion is made by pouring
boiling water over the herbs, covered and steeped over night. It's
much thicker and darker than tea.
Culinary
herbs such as rosemary, sage, holy basil, thyme, peppermint, and
spearmint are great for flavoring food and drinks with wonderful health
benefits.
