How to Make Hot Diaphoretic Herbal Tea
- In a glass, ceramic, or enamel-coated pot, combine the following herbs and spices: 1 tablespoon dried yarrow, 1 tablespoon dried elderflower, 1 teaspoon dried ginger, 1/2 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 teaspoon dried peppermint, 1/4 teaspoon dried licorice root.
- Add 2 quarts (64 oz) of water to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- While simmering, squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon into the pot (optional).
- After 30 minutes, carefully strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe container, discarding the herbs and spices.
- To maintain the heat and allow further infusion, return the strained tea to the pot. Cover and keep warm.
- Pour 1/2 cup of tea into a mug. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of honey to taste (optional).
- Inhale the steam from the mug as you sip the tea. Enjoy the soothing warmth and aroma. Repeat steps 7-8 until you have consumed up to 2 cups of the tea.
- For optimal results, consume 1/2 cup of tea 2-4 times a day between meals. After drinking the tea, take a hot bath or shower, cover yourself in blankets, and sweat.
