Oregano Tea

During the CSA pick up this week, I was asked if you could make tea with oregano.
Any herb is a candidate for tea making but my hunch of oregano being used for medicinal purposes was confirmed with a little internet sleuthing.

Since ancient times, oregano has been used for medicinal or herbal remedy purposes. Oregano contains high levels of thymol which is one of Nature's most powerful natural remedies against bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi.

Oregano can be used to treat sore throat, coughs and colds as well as loosening phlegm in the bronchial tubes. So if you're feeling a bit under the weather, some oregano tea may do the trick.

Oregano herbal tea recipe:

Infuse 3 tbsp fresh leaves in 8 oz boiling water for 10 minutes

Strain the mixture and sweeten with a little good quality honey
