Aniseed Myrtle Tea

Making Aniseed Myrtle Tea is straightforward and permits you to appreciate its unique taste and advantages:

1. Bring the water to about 90°C (194°F) so that the aniseed myrtle leaves acquire their sweet smell.
   
2. Depending on your taste for strength, take 1-2 teaspoons of the dried aniseed myrtle leaves and allow them to infuse in the hot water for around 5-7 minutes.
   
3. The tea can be enjoyed by itself, but it is better with a spoonful of honey or lemon added to it as this cornices the natural sweetness of the tea and the spice.
   
4. Drink it hot if you want to experience its sweet and warming taste of a liquorice like flavour, or allow it to cool as an iced herbal tea which is also very refreshing.

Aniseed myrtle tea is rich in active phytochemicals that enhance one’s health in multiple ways:
