Red Clover Tea

 

Ingredients

1 handful fresh red clover
1 blossoms, w/a few leaves
1 lemon
1 honey
1 fresh mint leaves (opt'l.) and/or-
1 several dandelion leaves
1 ; (opt'l.)



 

Preparation

Put the blossoms and leaves into a 2-cup earthenware teapot. Fill
teapot with boiling water, cover, and infuse for 5 to 10 minutes over
very low heat. Set the pot on a trivet over the burner, if
necessary, to protect it from breaking. Strain into a hot cup, add a
twist of lemon and sweeten with honey.

Some fresh mint leaves and/or several dandelion leaves can be used
with the clover blossoms.

Note: Red clover blossoms may be dried to use for tea. Spread the
blossoms out into a single layer on a tray and dry them in the sun.
Use less of the dried flowers, 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. to 1 cup of water, to
make the tea.

Yield: 2 cups.
