How do you make epazote tea?

Ingredients:

* 1-2 tablespoons fresh epazote leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried epazote)

* 1 cup water

Instructions:

1. Clean the epazote: Rinse the fresh leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. If using dried epazote, skip this step.

2. Boil the water: Heat the water in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil.

3. Add the epazote: Once the water boils, add the epazote leaves to the saucepan.

4. Steep the tea: Reduce the heat to low and let the tea steep for 5-10 minutes.

5. Strain the tea: After steeping, strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a mug.

6. Sweeten to taste: Epazote tea has a slightly bitter taste, so you can add honey, sugar, or stevia if desired.

Tips:

* For a stronger flavor, use more epazote leaves or steep the tea for longer.

* You can also add other herbs or spices to your epazote tea, such as ginger, lemon, or mint.

* Epazote tea can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Important Note:

* Consult with a healthcare professional before consuming epazote tea if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

* Some people may be allergic to epazote, so it's always best to start with a small amount and see how you react.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy epazote tea!
