Hyssop Congestion Tea

This hyssop tea is what I reach for when congestion kicks in. You can use fresh or dried leaves, and I like it best with a little honey and lemon stirred in.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. Hyssop (dried) or 3 tbsp. of fresh
  • 8 oz. Water
  • 1 tbsp. Raw Honey
  • 1 tsp. Lemon

Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil.
    8 oz. Water
  • Add the dried hyssop (or fresh if you’ve got it) to a tea ball, strainer, or just toss it straight into your mug.
    1 tbsp. Hyssop (dried)
  • Pour boiling water over the herbs, cover, and let it steep about 10 minutes so it really draws out the flavor and goodness.
  • Strain if needed, hen add honey and lemon to taste. I usually do (it makes the tea feel a lot more comforting).
    1 tbsp. Raw Honey, 1 tsp. Lemon

Notes

Dried hyssop will keep in a sealed jar for up to 18 months if you stash it somewhere cool and out of the sun.
If you’ve got more than just congestion going on, check out my homemade cough medicine recipe — it’s another one I keep on hand.
