Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon nettle leaves
  • 1 teaspoon oat straw
  • 1 teaspoon red raspberry leaves
  • 1 teaspoon alfalfa leaves

Equipment

  • 1 Fine Mesh Strainer or Tea Infuser
  • 1 Kettle or Pot for Boiling Water saucepan for heating water
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure out 1 teaspoon each of nettle leaves, oat straw, red raspberry leaves, and alfalfa leaves. Place these herbs into a teapot or heat-resistant container.
  2. Boil 8 ounces (1 cup) of water. Once the water reaches a boil, pour it over the herbs in the teapot or container.
  3. Cover the container with a lid or a plate to retain the steam, allowing the herbs to steep for 10-15 minutes.
  4. After steeping, strain the tea into a cup using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser to remove the herbs.
  5. Your NORA tea is now ready to be enjoyed. You can drink it plain or add honey, lemon, or your preferred sweetener to taste.

Notes

Instructions for Making a Larger Batch: If you prefer to make a larger batch of NORA tea, use a 1:1 ratio of the herbs. For example, combine 1 tablespoon each of nettle leaves, oat straw, red raspberry leaves, and alfalfa leaves in a teapot or heat-resistant container.
Boil the appropriate amount of water based on your desired servings (e.g., 4 cups for four servings). Pour the boiling water over the herbs.
Cover the container and steep the herbs for 10-15 minutes.
Strain the tea into a separate container using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser.
Storage: Store any leftover brewed tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to enjoy, reheat and add sweeteners or flavors as desired.
