Notes
Note: 2 tbsp is an adult dose, shift dose according to Clark’s or Young’s rule. Clark’s and Young’s dosing rules are explained in more depth in the Herbal Safety lesson of the Holistic Herbal Care for Kids Course (see the ad in the article to learn more).
To change the color of this tea from blue to pink, add 1 tsp. of fresh lemon juice to each cup and stir before adding butter, cream, and sweetener.
You can also drink this without the cream and butter. Brew a few peppermint leaves with it to add flavor and wellness properties.
