First things first, give your dried astragalus root a quick rinse under some cold water to make sure it’s nice and clean. Then, pop it into a small saucepan.

Pour those 2 cups of water into the saucepan with your astragalus root. Then, pop the saucepan onto the stove over medium heat and let it come to a gentle boil.

Once your water is bubbling away, reduce the heat to low and let that astragalus root simmer in there for around 10-15 minutes. This will let all those delicious flavors infuse into the water, giving you that perfect herbal tea taste.
