I ordered a pound of the mullein tea. I have a tea ball so I assume you put the loose leaves up to where the holes stop and it screws together. I’m excited to try it.
I make a large container of iced tea with it. It has a nice flavor especially with Manuka honey.
a pound, wow! You will be well-stocked!
I don’t have a tea ball, but from what you describe it sounds like it will work fine. I have one of those tea things that set into the top of the mug rim, and put the loose tea in its center area which dips down into the water area.
I heat the water up in the microwave until it is boiling, then take it out and the tea thing in it so that the mullein is submerged in the water, about 7-9 min. Then I strain it into another cup.
A few months back when my husband had his seasonal bronchial issues, I made a whole pot of boiling water and then took it off the burner and put in a bunch of mullein, so he had is for a couple of days or so. I’m not sure if is as potent this way though, and prefer to make it “fresh” each time.
