I'm addicted!
My daily infusion consists of..
Comfrey Leaf
Red Raspberry Leaf
Red Clover Top
Nettles
A few years ago, I started experimenting with nettle infusions. While learning about herbs, it is generally suggested to make a simple infusion of one herb and stick with it. Because I am using these infusions for specific heath reasons, I make a combo, and lucky for me, they also happen to be four of my favorite herbs. I could make them separately, but I would never have time to drink enough. I infuse mine for anywhere from 5-7 hours, though I have been known to leave it out overnight, ending up with a seriously potent infusion. I drink about 5 cups a day. I'm especially grateful for this when I'm on the run and don't eat as well as I should as it keeps me pretty covered nutritionally. I don't like it warm, so I usually make a very large batch, and leave it in the fridge to last 2 or 3 days.
