INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large handful of fresh or dried medicinal herb leaves (well-cleaned)
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

- Enhance the flavor: Stir in honey for sweetness and add a slice of lemon for brightness if desired. These additions make the infusion more enjoyable while complementing the herb’s natural taste.
