How to Prepare Anise Burnet Saxifrage

Herbal Tea (Infusion)Easy · 10-15 minutes

Equipment

Kettle or pot, Mug or teapot, Strainer or tea infuser, Measuring spoon

Instructions

1Bring fresh water to a rolling boil (200-212°F / 93-100°C).
2Place 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb (or 1 tablespoon fresh) per 8 oz cup into your strainer or infuser.
3Pour hot water over the herbs and cover to prevent volatile oils from escaping.
4Steep for 10-15 minutes for medicinal strength (5 minutes for a lighter, everyday tea).
5Remove the strainer/herbs. Add honey, lemon, or other herbs to taste if desired.
6Drink 1-3 cups daily, or as directed by a qualified herbalist.

Tips

• Covering while steeping is important — it traps beneficial volatile compounds.
• Leaves and flowers generally need 10-15 minutes; roots and bark need a decoction instead.
• Make larger batches and refrigerate for up to 48 hours.

Start with a small amount to check for any sensitivity. Not all herbs are suitable for tea preparation — some require alcohol extraction (tincture) for full potency.

Drink fresh or refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Dried herbs should be stored in airtight containers away from light.
