This herbal infusion contains essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B, C and E, potassium, calcium, zinc and iron. A longer steep time maximizes the vitamins and minerals extracted from the herbs. This tea offers a great way to add some additional nourishment to the day.

Yield: 1 cup

Nettles

Milky oats or oatstraw (avena sativa)

Spearmint or peppermint

Red clover flowers

Red raspberry leaves

Combine equal parts of the organic dried herbs in a bowl. To make a cup of nourishing tea, use 1 tablespoon of the herb mixture per 8 ounces of hot water and steep covered for 15 minutes. For a more concentrated herbal infusion, steep for a few hours or overnight.
