To safely prepare a soothing botanical infusion using the most miraculous leaf options found in traditional wellness, follow this simple preparation guide.
- 1 handful of fresh or dried organic leaves (such as bay leaves, guava leaves, or olive leaves)
- 2 cups of pure filtered water
- 1 small cinnamon stick (optional, for added glucose support)
- 1 teaspoon of raw organic honey or a fresh lemon slice (optional)
Step 1: Thoroughly wash the leaves under cold running water to remove any dust, dirt, or debris.
Step 2: Bring the two cups of filtered water to a rolling boil in a small stainless steel or glass saucepan.
Step 3: Add the cleaned leaves and cinnamon stick to the boiling water, lower the heat, and cover the pot with a lid. Allow it to simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes to extract the active polyphenols and essential oils.
Step 4: Remove the saucepan from the heat source and let the infusion steep covered for an additional 5 minutes. ☕
Step 5: Strain the liquid into a cup, add honey or lemon if desired, and sip slowly while warm.
