To brew a single‑herb sage infusion, start with 1 teaspoon of the loose dried leaves per 250 ml of water. Bring the water to just below boiling (around 90–95 °C) to preserve the essential oils while preventing a harsh taste. Pour the hot water over the leaves, cover, and let steep for 5–10 minutes. The longer the steeping, the stronger the tannin‑induced astringency and the richer the aromatic profile. Taste the brew; if it feels too mild, add a few more leaves or steep a minute longer. If you prefer a sweeter note, add a small amount of honey or a slice of lemon after the infusion has cooled slightly. For storage, keep the dried leaves in an airtight container, away from light and heat, to maintain their essential‑oil content. A well‑stored batch will stay fresh for several months. Use the tea as a warm drink after a long day or as a soothing beverage before bed. Consult a specialist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition before using sage in larger amounts.
