Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Red Clover TeaFrom "The Wild Flavor" by Marilyn Kluger Ingredients:1 Handful fresh red clover blossoms, w/a few leavesLemonHoneyOptional:Fresh mint leaves -and/or-Several dandelion leaves Put the blossoms and leaves into a 2-cup earthenware teapot. Fill teapot with boiling water, cover, and infuse for 5 to 10 minutes over very low heat. Set the pot on a trivet over the burner, if necessary, to protect it from breaking. Strain into a hot cup, add a twist of lemon and sweeten with honey. Some fresh mint leaves and/or several dandelion leaves can be used with the clover blossoms. Note: Red clover blossoms may be dried to use for tea. Spread the blossoms out into a single layer on a tray and dry them in the sun. Use less of the dried flowers, 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. to 1 cup of water, to make the tea. Yield: 2 cups.
