Parsley Tea Recipe - Tasty, Refreshing & Very Healthy!



My parsley tea  recipe is easy, healthy and can be ready to drink in 10 minutes! You can use either dried parsley or chopped fresh parsley.

People have been using the chopped fresh leaves of the parsley plant for centuries, and not just for enlivening their cooking.

In fact, parsley is a rich source of minerals and vitamins (A, C and K), and it has been proved to be useful for your health and well-being.  Balancing hormones, fighting anaemia and boosting the immune system are just a select few benefits of this herb.

Homemade Parsley Tea Recipe
Ingredients: (makes 2 cups)

2 cups water
2-3 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves
OR
1½ tbsp dried basil

tbsp = tablespoon

Directions:

Add the chopped fresh parsley to a cup and pour on some boiling water. Let steep (sit) for 5 - 10 minutes. Enjoy herbs and all. 
For dried, use as you would loose leaf tea leaves and do the same as above. Or, add the water to a pan and heat up until *boiled. Turn off the heat, add the dried herbs and let steep for about 5-10 minutes. Pour through a strainer before drinking.

That's it! Enjoy!

*Boiling herbs too long may negate some of the benefits of parsley.
