How should I brew the red clover from this pack?

To prepare an infusion from dried red clover, the standard approach for loose herbs is usually used: measure out the required amount of the herb, pour hot water over it and leave it to steep under a lid. The exact proportions and brewing time are given by the manufacturer on the pack — follow them, as recommendations may vary depending on the batch and how finely the herb is cut.

The loose format lets you vary the strength flexibly: less herb and a shorter steeping time give a lighter herbal flavour, a little more gives a richer one. This is convenient if you are just getting to know clover and want to find the version that suits your preferences.

A few practical points:

• Choose the water temperature according to the instructions on the pack — it determines how mild the flavour will be.
• Steep under a lid to retain the volatile aromatic substances.
• Strain the infusion before drinking — loose herbs are easy to brew in a strainer or a special herbal teapot.
• The infusion is best drunk fresh; keeping it for a long time is not recommended.

If you are taking medication, are pregnant or are breastfeeding, consult a specialist before drinking it regularly.
