Equipment

  • 1 Tea Infuser

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cups Water
  • 2 TBSP Mugwort

Instructions
 

  • Boil water: I begin by boiling about 2 cups of water for each mug of tea (if you use big mugs like me!).
  • Measure mugwort: While the water is heating, measure out the mugwort leaves. I use about 1-2 teaspoons of dried leaves per cup, depending on how strong I want my tea. As recommended above, start with one TBSP and notice how it effects you.
  • Steep the tea: Once the water just barely reaches boiling, pour it over the mugwort leaves in an infuser.
  • Let the tea steep for about 5-10 minutes. The steeping time also affects the tea’s taste, so I often experiment with different durations for my preferred flavor. As mugwort can be bitter, I don’t like to steep it longer than 7 minutes.
  • Strain and enjoy: After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves, and you’re ready to savor a cup of warm, earthy mugwort tea.

Notes

Pregnant women should avoid using mugwort.
