Recipe Box

My favorite herbs for making nourishing infusions are

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) for lots of energy.

Red clover blossoms (Trifolium pratense) to forstall cancer.

Oatstraw (Avena sativa) to be very, very sexy.

Comfrey leaves (Smyphytum uplandica x) to help the memory.

Linden blossoms (Tillia species) to counter inflammation.

Chickweed (Stellaria media) to lose weight.

Hawthorn blossoms (Crataegus oxycantha) for older hearts.

Raspberry leaves (Rubus species) for uterine health.



To brew a nourishing herbal infusion

Place one ounce (30 grams) of dried herb by weight in a quart (liter) jar.

Fill jar to the top with boiling water.

Cap tightly and steep for at least four hours; overnight is fine.

After brewing, strain the liquid from the herbs.

Squeeze the herbs to get all the goodness out.

Refrigerate the liquid, which needs to be consumed with a day or two.

Drink your nourishing herbal infusion over ice or heated up, with honey or not.

I drink 2-4 cups of infusion a day.

You can mix nourishing herbal infusions with fruit juice or soda water; you can add whiskey or miso, honey or ginger to them, or flavor them in any way that appeals to you.
