Brewing Instructions and Tips
Hi! This is Martha from The Shaman and the Bear. Below you will find important information for brewing your tea, along with some helpful tips and ideas for larger batches and iced tea. I hope you enjoy your tea!
Brewing and Steeping Your Tea:
Hot Tea:
Brewing herbal tea is special because the teas are made from a variety of herbs, dried fruits, and spices. To preserve the full flavor and healing properties of your tea, heat your water to just below boiling and pour it over the tea ingredients. For blends with flowers, stems, and leaves, steep for 5-15 minutes. For blends with berries or roots, you can steep for longer, up to 30 minutes.
Use 1 rounded teaspoon per 8 oz. cup. If you’re making a pot, you may use less tea, depending on your taste preference.
Iced Tea:
To make iced tea, brew and steep your tea following the instructions above. After brewing, pour the tea into a canning jar or an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator to cool. This method ensures that your tea will not be diluted when served cold.
Brewing Larger Amounts:
If you’re making a larger batch of tea, a larger tea infuser pot works great! These are available online, and we also sell them. Costco has an electric tea infuser pot that is perfect for both hot tea and larger quantities of iced tea.
If you don’t have an infuser pot, you can brew and steep your tea in a pan. Follow the brewing instructions above, then use a sieve or strainer to filter out the ingredients, leaving you with your hot or cold herbal tea.
