Updated on 10 October 2026

Makes: ± 25 cups
Time: 10 min
From: Common vervain

Ingredients

3 tablespoons dried vervain
3 tablespoons dried lemon verbena
2 tablespoons dried mint

Method

Crumble the dried herbs roughly between your fingers and pick out any tough stalks.
Mix them in a bowl and put them in a tightly closed jar. Write the name and date on the label.
Use 1 teaspoon of the blend per cup, pour over 250 ml of water just off the boil and leave to steep for 5 minutes.
Strain and drink warm: the lemon verbena and mint soften the bitterness of the vervain.

Storing: Keeps for a year in a closed jar, dry and dark. Drink no more than two cups a day.
