Step 1 – Harvest Fresh Borage Leaves Ensure you have fresh, pesticide-free Borage leaves. Harvest approximately 2 tablespoons, choosing young and tender leaves for the best flavor.
Step 2 – Rinse and Clean Gently rinse the Borage leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Step 3 – Infuse in Boiling Water Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the freshly harvested Borage leaves. Allow the leaves to steep for 5-7 minutes, letting the natural flavors infuse into the water.
Step 4 – Strain the Infusion Once steeped, strain the tea to remove the Borage leaves, leaving you with a clean and fragrant infusion.
Step 5 – Sweeten to Taste: add honey or agave syrup to sweeten the tea. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Step 6 – Garnish and Serve For a citrusy twist, garnish your Borage Tea with lemon wedges. Pour the tea into your favorite teacup and savor the delightful flavors.
