To prepare, place one sachet or a teaspoon of the loose blend into a mug. Pour hot, but not boiling, water over the herbs. Allow it to steep for 5 to 7 minutes, or longer for a stronger flavor. You can strain out the herbs if using loose leaf. It can be enjoyed plain or with a touch of honey for added sweetness. This infusion is best served warm.
