For a stronger medicinal infusion (during acute illness), you can use up to 1 tablespoon of the blend per cup. If brewing a whole pot, use roughly 1 heaping tablespoon per 2 cups of water as a guideline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteep: Pour boiling water over the herbs. Cover the cup or teapot and let the tea steep for 10–15 minutes. A longer steep time (even up to 20 minutes) is beneficial here, as it allows the roots and berries in the blend to release their compounds fully . The covering helps retain aromatic oils and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStrain \u0026amp; Enjoy: After steeping, strain out the herbs.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eDrink the tea warm for best soothing effects. The flavor is fruity-spicy with gentle minty and earthy notes; many find it pleasant plain, but you may add honey or a squeeze of lemon to enhance taste and augment the cough\/soothing action (honey is a natural demulcent and antimicrobial as well).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDosage: For general immune maintenance, enjoy 1–2 cups daily throughout the week. It’s gentle enough to drink regularly as a preventative tonic. During active cold or flu symptoms, you can drink 3–4 cups per day (e.g. one cup every few hours) to provide continuous support. Because it’s caffeine-free and relaxing, it’s appropriate to drink in the evening or before bed if desired. In fact, a warm mug before bedtime can help relieve nighttime cough and congestion, thanks to herbs like linden and marshmallow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStore in a cool, dry place.
