Alteja juniper tea is a loose herbal mixture, so a simple infusion method works well. For one cup, take about one level teaspoon of the blend and place it in a cup or a small teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the herbs. Herbal blends generally tolerate full boiling water better than green tea, so 95–100 °C is fine. Cover the cup with a saucer while steeping; this keeps the volatile aromatic compounds from the juniper cones and linden flowers in the cup. A steeping time of five to ten minutes lets the herbs release their flavor. If you prefer a softer taste, start with five minutes; for a more pronounced, warming cup, go closer to ten minutes. The tea will be darker and slightly more astringent with longer steeping. After steeping, strain the herbs or leave them at the bottom of the cup. Since the blend contains oak bark and larger pieces, a fine strainer makes pouring easier if you brew in a pot. Because this is a caffeine-free drink, you can enjoy it in the evening, but the taste is robust enough for an afternoon break as well. You can adjust the strength by using less or more herb, but try the standard amount first to see how it suits you.
