Dandelion and nettle tea for spring
A cup of dandelion and nettle tea for a spring break. Use a packaged tea blend and follow its instructions for the amount and preparation.
Steps
Choose your blend
Choose a dandelion and nettle blend sold as a food. Read the ingredients and cautions before using it. Take the quantity and water volume for one serving from the packet.
Brew a fresh cup
Pour freshly boiling water over the tea. Infuse for at least five minutes, following any longer time on the packet. Remove the strainer or bag, then let the cup cool to a comfortable drinking temperature.
Make room for your cup
Put the cup on a stable surface and take time to drink it. This break prescribes neither a delay before breakfast nor a course lasting several weeks. Heating, infusing and cooling are part of preparation.
Store the remaining tea
Store the remaining dry tea as the packet directs and keep its best-before date visible. Do not automatically put it away until next spring. Prepare each cup fresh.
This tea break is intended for adults. Follow the packet cautions. Do not use tea containing an ingredient you are allergic to. Ask a pharmacist about the specific product for children, pregnancy or breastfeeding, medical conditions or questions about medicines. Making a weaker cup does not establish suitability. Avoid dandelion if you have a known daisy-family allergy.
