Cold marsh mallow root infusion
- Makes: 1 cup
- Time: 5 min + 1 to 2 hrs steeping
- From: Marsh mallow
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons dried marsh mallow root in small pieces
- 250 ml cold water
- a spoonful of honey (optional)
Method
- Put the root pieces in a bowl or jar and pour over the cold water.
- Leave to steep for 1 to 2 hours, stirring now and then: the water turns slightly syrupy.
- Strain through a fine sieve.
- If you like, warm it gently until lukewarm (do not boil) and stir in the honey.
Storing: Make it fresh and drink it the same day: it spoils quickly. Do not take medicines at the same time.
