Ingredients
3parts dried apple
1part dried rhubarb
1part dried lemon thyme
1/2part dried lime or lemon balm
1/4part dried lemon grass
1stick cinnamon
Instructions
Mix all ingredients well, crumbling herbs well.
Transfer to a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.
Store for up 6 months to a year. Of course, as long as it remains completely dry, this blend can be safely stored indefinitely; however, the flavor will start to deteriorate significantly after 6 months to a year.
Brewing Instructions
Use 2 to 3 tsp of tea mix per cup of boiling water.
Allow to steep, covered for 5 minutes or longer for stronger flavor.
Notes
This tea blend does not turn bitter if you steep it longer, so if you want more intense flavor, just let it steep longer - no worries!
