Standard Hot Brew
Prep Steep Time: 4-5 min.
Temp: 203-212 F
Amount: 1 level tsp.

Notes
Remember, longer HOT steeping times will increase tea strength.

Cold Brew Prep
Prep Steep Time: 4-5 hours.
Temp: Normal cold refrigeration
Amount: 5 level tsp.

Notes
Be sure to cover tightly to avoid steeping tea from absorbing other aromas in the refrigerator. Strain and enjoy the cold-brew tea that will last for days. Crushed ice and sweetener can be added if desired.

Decoction Brew Prep
1. For best results, use filtered water.
2. Measure approx. 1/4 ounce of herbal tea to one cup of water. For larger serving, measure 1 oz. to 1 qrt. of filtered water.
3. Bring water to the boil and add herbal tea and stir.
4. Reduce the heat to low and cover tightly to avoid evaporation.
5. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. For larger ingredients like roots, bark or seeds, double the simmer time.
6. Remove from heat, strain and serve hot or chill for cold brew.
