To prepare this tea, simply place one tea bag or about one tablespoon of the loose dried red clover into a mug. Pour boiling water over the plant material and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be. You can strain out the loose leaves if you prefer a clearer cup. It is typically enjoyed without any additions, but a touch of honey can be added if desired for a hint of sweetness.
