Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried licorice root
- 1 teaspoon dried mullein leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried marshmallow root
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan or kettle.
While the water is heating, measure out the dried thyme leaves, dried licorice root, dried mullein leaves, and dried marshmallow root.
Place all the dried herbs in a heat-safe teapot, tea infuser, or directly into a mug if you plan to strain later.
Once the water comes to a boil, remove it from heat and let it cool for about 1 minute to preserve the delicate herbal properties.
Pour the hot water over the prepared herbs.
Cover the teapot or mug and allow the herbs to steep for 7–10 minutes to extract their full medicinal benefits.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer if the herbs were placed directly in a mug.
If desired, stir in honey and lemon juice to taste for natural sweetness and additional soothing benefits.
Serve the tea warm and sip slowly. Consume up to 3 times a day as needed to alleviate bronchitis symptoms.
