- Pour the hot (but not boiling) water over the mixture and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes.
- After steeping, strain the tea through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into another container to remove the solid particles.
- Add honey or your preferred natural sweetener to taste, stirring gently to combine.
- Optionally, add your favorite herbal tea bag to the strained tea and let it infuse for a few additional minutes for added flavor.
