Homemade Sage Tea Recipe

And making a cup of sage tea is an excellent way of experiencing these benefits.

Sage Tea Recipe

Ingredients: (Makes 2 cups)

2 cups water
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
Juice of half a lemon
OR
1 tbsp dried sage
Juice of half a lemon

tbsp = tablespoon

Directions:

Fresh: Add the chopped sage leaves and lemon to a cup. Pour on some boiled water and let steep (sit) for 10-15 minutes before drinking. Sage can be a bit chewy, so you may need to remove the chopped herb prior to drinking.

Dried: If you're using dried, use just you like you would loose leaf tea leaves, and follow the instructions for fresh.
