Hyssop Congestion Tea

This simple hyssop tea is one of my go-to remedies for when congestion sets in. It’s soothing, easy to make with either fresh or dried hyssop, and pairs well with a little honey and lemon for extra comfort.

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
  • Place the dried hyssop (or fresh, if you have it) into a tea infusing spoon or simply into a heat-safe mug.
    1 tbsp. Hyssop (dried)
  • Pour the boiling water over the herbs, cover, and let steep for about 10 minutes to pull out the beneficial oils.
  • Strain if needed, then stir in honey and lemon to taste. Both are optional, but I find they make this tea extra soothing.
    1 tbsp. Raw Honey, 1 tsp. Lemon

Notes

Dried hyssop leaves and flowers can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 18 months. Store them somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight to keep their flavor and benefits at their best.
