Verna's Tisane

I brought a tisane recipe to class that I really like but I cannot post it because of copyrights.
So this is a recipe I came up with, that is also very good.
What is a tisane? A tisane is a tea made out of fresh herbs, spices or flowers.
Ginger is excellent for any stomach problems, motion sickness. etc.

Ingredients:

  • 8 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sliced and peeled ginger
  • 1 lemon sliced in 6 pieces
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 small orange sliced in 6 pieces
  • juice from 4 oranges
  • 1-2 cinnamon sticks
  • 8 tablespoons honey
  • Grated fresh nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Put the first 7 ingredients in a kettle.
  2. Bring to a boil, lower heat and boil for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and add  fresh nutmeg and honey.
  4. Steep for 5 minutes.
  5. Put the tisane through a strainer.
  6.  Serve hot or cold with a lemon wedge.


Enjoy!
