How to use it
Steep a heaped teaspoon of the cut herb in a cup of freshly boiled water for eight to ten minutes, covered, then strain. The brew is dry and astringent, so it takes well to mint, lemon balm or a little honey, and the strained liquid is also used cooled as a skin rinse. Keep the cut herb sealed and away from light. Technique tip: keep the steep to ten minutes at most, since the astringency keeps building and a long brew becomes mouth-puckering.
