How do I brew this yarrow correctly? — Yarrow Herb 50 g - LEKRASET

LEKRASET Raudrohi is whole dried plant material without additives, so it is prepared in the standard way for herbal infusions. Take 1–2 teaspoons of the dried herb per glass of hot water.

Leave the herb to infuse, covered, for as long as the instructions on the packaging state, then strain. A longer infusion intensifies the bitterness — this is normal for yarrow, but it may be unfamiliar if you are trying this tea for the first time. It is best to start with a short brewing time and adjust it to your taste.

Yarrow is traditionally drunk after meals as a warm herbal drink — this is the context in which it is most often included in the everyday diet. You can sweeten it with honey or not sweeten it at all — the slightly bitter taste is considered a characteristic feature of this plant and is linked to its content of bitter substances, which activate the taste receptors.

An opened pack should be stored in a dry place away from direct light and strong odours — dried herbs easily absorb other smells.
