First start with cold water. If your tap water does not taste good, use filtered or bottled water.

Place approximately 2 teaspoons of tea per every 6-8 ounces (1 cup) of water into a teapot or cup. Add hot water and let steep for 5-7 minutes. If you prefer your tea less strong, add more water after the brewing period.  Drink up to three times a day, or as needed.

Note: After you brew the tea, it is best to remove the herbs/flowers with a fine strainer or use a tea ball. An alternative option is to use a cup with a tea infuser and remove the infuser containing the herbs and flowers after the tea has steeped.
