Instructions
Option 1 – steep with teabag/infuser *See Notes
Boil your water. I like to use a water cooker for that.
Place dried oregano in a new empty
tea bag
or a
tea infuser
.
Place tea bag/infuser in a large cup and pour hot water over that.
Steep for about 5 minutes. Take out tea bag/infuser.
Enjoy your hot tea with a sweetener of your choice (or non)
Option 2 – boil & strain
Bring a small pot with water to boil over the stovetop.
Add fresh oregano sprigs or dried oregano to the cooking water.
Turn of the heat or take the pot from the stove.
Allow the herbs to steep for 5 minutes.
Take the infused herbal tea through a fine sieve and pour your ready and hot tea into a cup.
Sweeten your tea if you like and serve hot.
