INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING A BREW
Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried sage to boiling water (90°C, removed from the heat). Let it steep in a covered container for 5 minutes before straining. Add lemon or honey.
Note: Dried herbs have a much stronger flavor than fresh ones, so we use 1/3 or even 1/5 of the amount we use fresh.
CAUTION
Do not consume for more than 3 weeks. Even 2 cups a day may cause toxicity due to thujone, which has symptoms of dizziness and vomiting. Sage should be consumed in moderation by people with epilepsy. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor.
