Here\u2019s some sage advice; learn how to make Sage tea. Thank us later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many herbs have been in use for centuries, they still retain their comforting appeal and near-mystical powers when we consume them, particularly in tea form. Sage is right up there with them. We\u2019ll show you how to make sage tea but first, a little background about this mystical herb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origins of Sage Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like many herbs, sage has its origins in the ancient Mediterranean lands. It\u2019s a member of the Labiatae family, that strong-flavored mint family that probably started off as medicinal herbs rather than culinary delicacies. You are probably more familiar with sage as a seasoning herb that made those stringy turkeys more palatable every thanksgiving holiday you travelled back home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sage tea is now all the rage. It was first used as a tonic and it\u2019s now as popular as any tea. There\u2019s nothing as rewarding as making yourself a cup of sage tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a marked difference in taste between dried, powdered form of sage and the graceful, velvety fresh gray-green leaves. Many tea enthusiasts tend to agree that few herbs retain their pungency and aroma when dried. Sage is certainly among the exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage tea will give you that haunting flavor, with an unmistakable eucalyptus and minty essence that often calms your nerves with every sip. If you were told that sage tea is a remedy for every possible stomach problem you probably believed it. Sage has been found to have numerous health benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe - How to Make Sage Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can opt for either fresh leaves or dried sage leaves. The process is pretty much the same. If you use fresh leaves, it\u2019s recommended that you thoroughly wash them first. For best results, use both dried and fresh leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/strong> \u2013 Pour spring water into a teapot or an infuser then add around 1-2 teaspoonfuls of dried and crushed sage leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/strong> \u2013 Bring the mix to a boil and then add around 5-10 (depending on the desired strength) fresh sage leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three<\/strong> \u2013 Steep the fresh sage leaves in the boiling water for approximately 5 minutes and then strain the mix<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/strong> \u2013 Add honey, lemon juice, or your favorite sweetener<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Five<\/strong> \u2013 Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
