With flu season closing in on us, Here is an excellent tea to make and have on hand, I always have a jar on the shelf ready...Nothing is going to cure the flu, but we can make ourselves feel alittle more comfortable.

FLU BREW

1 Tbsp Basil
1 Tbsp Boneset
1 Tbsp Borage
1 Tbsp Catnip
1 Tbsp Chamomile
1 Tbsp Elder Flower
1 Tbsp Fennel
1 Tbsp Horehound (or 2 Tbsp marshmallow)
1 Tbsp Yerba Santa (or 2 Tbsp elder flower)
1 Tbsp Hyssop
1 Tbsp Peppermint
1 Tbsp Plantain
3 Tbsp Rose Hips
2 Tbsp Sage
1 Tbsp Parsley (optional)

This recipe calls for dried herbs; blend herbs in a bowl & store in a glass jar (either a dark jar or out of the light) in a dry place. Add one heaping tsp or teaball to one cup of boiling water. Steep for 5-6 minutes. Stir in one teaspoon of honey (NOT SUGAR) & drink the tea while it is very hot. Repeat up to four times per day (If necessary until you feel better, or for one week.)
