Horehound Tea (Loose) (8 oz, ZIN: 427741) 1

Item Package Quantity:1 Ancient Greeks reportedly relied on horehound
(Marrabium vulgare) to help support mad-dog bite, which explains the “hound”
in this plant’s name. But over time, it has been this herb’s role as a bodily
aid for respiratory maintenance that has made it popular. Soothing teas,
lozenges, and syrups concocted from its wooly leaves stimulate the body’s
capacity to keep airways clear and the respiratory tract functioning normally.
– Many people like the somewhat bitter, apple-like flavor of horehound, a
member of the mint family. Horehound is native to Europe but now grows in many
parts of the world including North America. – Hot tea brewing method: Bring
freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each
cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let
steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the
stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the
flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea
“straight-up.” – Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea
bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly
boiled water over the tea. Steep for minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher
with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves.
Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste.
[A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the
strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold
water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or “milky” when poured
over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas
and nothing to worry about! – ZooScape is proud to be the e
