Spring Tonic Tea
Makes 1 cup of tea.

1 tsp Dandelion root
2 tsp Red clover tops
1 tsp Nettle leaf
1 tsp Alfalfa leaf
??? tsp Peppermint
??? tsp Licorice root

Place 1 heaping Tbsp. of herbs in a teapot and add 8 oz. of boiling water. Cover and steep for at least 15 minutes to get the most therapeutic benefit; often I just steep for 3-5 minutes.

This tea is good for the liver, helps digestion and has mild effects on inflammation. Thanks to Chris Kowalczyk, L.Ac. for passing on this recipe and information.
