How do I make a cup of tea?

Many of our customers have not had the pleasure of loose-leaf tea before, we are happy to share our tips. Bring water to a boil and let cool, aiming for 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Put 1-2 TSP of tea into a strainer. Put the strainer in your favorite teacup. Pour water over and steep for 5 minutes. Steep longer for stronger tasting tea. Drink and Enjoy!

Tip: Cover the teacup as it steeps to trap the aromatic essential oils

All of our tea can be enjoyed with this method and we find it is the best way to create a habit of drinking tea. Once you are comfortable with making a cup of tea, try making a large infusion batch on the stove (great with our Anahata Tea) or a decoction (best with roots and seeds) of our Winter Tea.

How do I make a Pixie Doodle Potion?

Remove the screw band, cheesecloth, lid, and wax paper. Fill the jar with your olive oil, vinegar, or liquor. Replace wax paper, lid, cheesecloth, and screw band in that order. Let it infuse for up to four weeks, shaking gently once a day. Taste periodically until the desired flavor is reached. Once you like the flavor, strain using the cheesecloth and a funnel into a clean, dry bottle. Store in a cool, dark cabinet. Use your new olive oil, vinegar, or liquor as you normally would. Eat, drink, cook, enjoy!

Shelf-life:
Olive oil - 6 months
