How to Prepare Conceptions Tea Properly
Conceptions Tea is a loose-leaf tea, meaning it does not come in individual tea bags. In order to make this tea, you will need some kind of tea tool, such as: fine mesh strainer, your own tea bags cloth or muslin, a stainless-steel tea ball or a tea French press.
1. Stir up the Conceptions Tea, during shipping it may have settled. You are going to want to get a variety of each of the herbs each time you make it.
2. For 1 cup of Conceptions Tea, place a 1-2 tsp. of dried herbs in a tea cup (mug). For 2-3 cups of Conceptions Tea, put 3-4 heaping tsp of dried herbs in a glass canning jar.
3. Pour boiling water over the herbs, cover with a small plate for 1 cup method, or cap tightly if making in a glass canning jar. Let steep for a minimum of 30 minutes. Capping tightly insures you will not let any of the medicinal qualities of the herbs evaporate; this is especially important for the volatile oils contained in many of the plants. Because this tea is a mixture of bark (hard parts) and leaves, it needs to be steeped for the required time or longer to extract the medicinal properties of the hard bark parts. For 1 cup of Conceptions Tea, steep for 15 minutes. For a quart, steep for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Conceptions Tea should only be consumed consistently for up to 6 months. Do not use this tea during pregnancy.
