Drink this tisane to fortify yourself for seasonal change. A decoction of these plants is required to release the anti-inflammatory qualities of ginger and licorice. The deep black/red colour of elderberry and rosehip are released into the infusion, along with the tangy flavour of lemongrass and the rich antioxidants of hawthorn berries.

CONTAINS :

• Rosehip
• Hawthorn berry
• Elder berry
• Ginger root
• Lemongrass
• Licorice root

   

PREPARATION :

Berry Nice Tisane can be prepared as a tea, infusion or decoction.  Teas are made by steeping flowers, leaves and stems in boiled water for 10 - 15 minutes.  Infusions are similar to teas, but the herbs are steeped longer, in hot water, so that they are stronger than teas.  Steep for 4 hours or longer.  Decoctions are made by bringing roots, barks and hard berries to boil in water.  Steep with the lid on for a further 5 minutes.

Into a plunger, infuser or china teapot place a teaspoon of herb to 250mls of boiled water.  For full therapeutic benefit, take 3 cups per day for three months, otherwise enjoy a refreshing cup of herbal tea any time of the day.

30g net makes up to 15 cups.

PRECAUTION :

If pregnant or with high blood pressure, talk to a herbalist before use.
