How to Make Red Clover Tea

  1. Gently inspect 1/4 cup of dried red clover blossoms, removing any stems or debris. Ensure flowers are free of insects and pesticides.
  2. Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan.
  3. Remove from heat and add the red clover blossoms. (Optional: Add 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing flavor.)
  4. Steep the mixture, covered, for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully infuse.
  5. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a mug or pitcher.
  6. Sweeten to taste with honey or sugar (optional).
  7. Enjoy your warm red clover tea immediately.
  8. **For Iced Red Clover Tea:** Follow steps 1-5. Then, pour the hot tea over ice in a glass or pitcher. You can add 2 decaffeinated tea bags during steeping for added flavor. Use 6 cups of water and 2 decaf tea bags when preparing iced tea with 1/4 cup of dried red clover blossoms.
  9. **To store dried red clover:** Air dry harvested flowers in the shade, then store them in airtight containers in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
