This is nourishing tea for everyone in the family. From young to old, man to woman, everyone can benefit from this tea. Make it as needed for a single serving, or make a larger batch and store in an airtight container.
Equipment
- 1 Fine Mesh Strainer or Tea Infuser
- 1 Kettle or Pot for Boiling Water saucepan for heating water
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon nettle leaves
- 1 teaspoon oat straw
- 1 teaspoon red raspberry leaves
- 1 teaspoon alfalfa leaves
Instructions
- 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.
- Boil 8 ounces (1 cup) of water. Once the water reaches a boil, pour it over the herbs in the teapot or container.
- Cover the container with a lid or a plate to retain the steam, allowing the herbs to steep for 10-15 minutes.
- After steeping, strain the tea into a cup using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser to remove the herbs.
- 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.
