Peppermint, Yarrow & Elderflower Tea Recipe

By Christina Francine

Infuse the herbs in the water for at least 5 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients and honey to sweeten if necessary. Take a wineglass every 2 hours. This pleasant soothing mixture will induce a gentle perspiration, thus helping to reduce a fever.

1 tsp. dried peppermint	2 cups boiling water
1 tsp. dried yarrow	1 pinch powdered mixed spice
1 tsp. dried elderflower	1 tsp. lemon juice
