Homemade Oregano Tea Recipe

Ingredients: (makes 2 cups)

2 cups of water
1½ tbsp fresh oregano leaves
1 tsp orange juice (optional)
OR
2 cups water
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp orange juice (optional)

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

Fresh: Finely chop the leaves and add to 2 cups. Pour on some just boiled water and, if using, the orange juice.

Let steep (sit) for 5-10 minutes before serving.

You can remove the chopped leaves by straining first. Alternatively you can drink around the leaves.

Dried: Divide the dried oregano into 2 cups and pour on some just boiled water. Let steep (sit) for a few minutes before drinking. Strain first if required.

Or, add the dried leaves to a teapot before pouring. Doing it this way makes it easy to pour through a strainer prior to serving.
