How should calendula tea be brewed and how much of it should I drink? — Calendula 25 g - Lekraset ( calendula )(календула)

According to the label, 1 teaspoon of crushed flowers (3.0 g) is covered with a cup of boiling water (200 ml).

It is left to steep for 15 minutes and then strained. The prepared infusion is kept in the fridge for no more than 2 days.

Adults are advised to drink ¼ cup (50 ml) 2 times a day or ½ cup (100 ml) once a day with meals; the course lasts 1 month and can be repeated within the year if necessary. If you are trying calendula for the first time, it makes sense to start with one small serving and see how you react — especially if you are sensitive to herbs.

The tea goes well with honey, which softens its slight bitterness. Keep an opened pack in a dry place away from direct light and strong odours to preserve the aroma and quality of the herbs.
