Introduction: Sage, a fragrant herb often used in cooking, has long been cherished for its medicinal properties. In particular, sage tea is a soothing and potent remedy for supporting digestive health, specifically the intestines. Its natural compounds have been shown to aid in digestion, alleviate bloating, and even reduce inflammation in the gut. Whether you're dealing with an upset stomach or simply looking to improve your overall digestive function, a warm cup of sage tea can be a beneficial addition to your wellness routine.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of dried sage leaves (or 2 fresh sage leaves)
1 cup of boiling water
Honey (optional, for sweetness)
Lemon juice (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
Prepare the Sage: If you're using dried sage, measure out 1 tablespoon. For fresh sage, two large leaves will be sufficient. Rinse the fresh leaves if necessary.
Boil Water: Heat 1 cup of water until it reaches a rolling boil.
Brew the Tea: Place the sage leaves (dried or fresh) into a teapot or cup. Pour the hot water over the leaves.
Steep: Let the sage leaves steep for about 5–10 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor and medicinal properties will be.
Strain and Serve: After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves. Add honey or a splash of lemon juice if desired for additional flavor.
Enjoy: Sip your sage tea slowly to experience its calming effects on your digestive system.
