Ingredients
1tbspdried arnica flower powder
8ozof water
1tsphoney(optional)
Instructions
To make arnica tea, add 1 tablespoon of dried arnica flower powder to a tea infuser or teapot.
Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to boil and then pour over the powder.
Allow the mixture to steep for 5-6 minutes, before straining the tea. Add a tsp of honey if you want to add a sweetener. Honey is a healthier option.
You can consume the tea hot or cold. You need to refrigerate the tea for a few hours to have it cold. You can also allow the hot infusion to cool down a little, and then add chilled water or ice to it, to have an iced tea version of the same. You can also apply the infusion, once it cools down, on the skin if it needs to heal from a wound.
Notes
If you are making anĀ iced tea version of arnica tea, make your hot tea stronger as it will dilute in the additional cold water and ice.
