Thyroid Harmony Herbal Infusion Recipe

 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 teaspoons dried chamomile flowers
• 1 teaspoon dried nettle leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried spearmint leaves
• ½ teaspoon dried ginger root (sliced or crushed)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon bark or stick
• 1 teaspoon dried lemon balm leaves
• 2 cups filtered water
• Optional: 1 teaspoon raw honey or a slice of fresh lemon for flavor

INSTRUCTION

1. Prepare the herbs: Measure out the dried chamomile, nettle, spearmint, ginger, cinnamon, and lemon balm. Place them together in a small bowl to blend their aromas before brewing.
2. Boil the water: Heat 2 cups of filtered water until it reaches a gentle boil. Avoid over-boiling, as excessively hot water can diminish the delicate flavors of the herbs.
3. Combine and steep: Place the herbal mixture into a teapot or heatproof jar. Pour the hot water over the herbs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the vessel to trap steam and essential oils.
4. Steeping time: Allow the herbs to steep for 10–12 minutes. This longer steeping time extracts the full flavor and beneficial compounds from the blend.
5. Strain and serve: Strain the tea into a cup using a fine mesh strainer. If desired, add raw honey for sweetness or a slice of lemon for brightness.
6. Mindful enjoyment: Sip slowly, focusing on the warmth and aroma. This mindful approach enhances the calming effect of the tea.
