Detox Tea

Ingredients for this recipe are available at natural food stores, or you can order them online from Mountain Rose Herbs at mountainroseherbs.com (most are around $2 per ounce)

3 parts green tea
2 parts dried calendula flowers
1 part dried burdock root
1 part dried lavender flowers
1 part dried dandelion leaf
1 part dried ginger root

Combine the ingredients in a glass bowl. While mixing, slightly crumble the herbs and flowers to release their flavor and aroma. Place a teaspoon of the mixture in a tea strainer then put the strainer in a mug and pour hot water over it. Place leftover tea in an airtight container and freeze until you're ready to brew your next cup.
