Soothing Throat Herbal Tisane - CO-Herbal

Our Soothing Throat tea is a warm, and fruity blend perfect for tickly, sore throats, and general throat discomfort. Best prepared as decoction, but excellent as a general everyday infusion.

Ingredients:
Licorice, marshmallow, echinacea purpurea roots, cinnamon bark, orange peel, ginger root, fennel seeds and cloves. Naturally caffeine free. Certified Organic.

Brewing Instructions:
For gentle infusion, use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz cup; heat fresh water to a roaring boil; let steep for 2-4 minutes to achieve the full flavor.
Decoction method:
Put 1-3 tablespoons of cut herb, seed, root, bark, etc into a pot of 16-32 oz of water and allow to sit in cool water for at least 5-10 minutes. Bring water to a slow boil then turn down to a simmer for 10-30 minutes. This depends on the strength of the tea you enjoy. Strain and drink. Will keep about 72 hours if kept refrigerated.
Sweeten with SBS Teas Flavored Sugar Powder or Sweet Purple Haze Sugar.

Iced Tea Instructions:
Put 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 10-15 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
