Ingredients
2 tablespoon dried astragalus
1 tablespoon dried ginger (order "cut and sifted," rather than powdered)
1/8 teaspoon dried lemon peel (choose organic if using fresh)
1 tablespoon lemon balm
Honey to taste
Preparation
Simmer the astragalus, ginger, and lemon peel in a quart of water for 20 minutes, covered.
Turn off heat and add the lemon balm; cover and steep for another 20 minutes. Strain and discard herbs.
Add a touch of honey per cup of hot tea. Tea will keep in the fridge for 24 hours; heat it up before drinking.
