Enjoying Bloody Geranium Root (Geranium sanguineum) as a soothing herbal tea is a wonderful way to experience its natural benefits. Below is a detailed guide on how to prepare and consume this plant safely and enjoyably.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon dried Bloody Geranium Root (cut or powdered)
1 cup (250 ml) of boiling water
Optional: honey, lemon, or your favorite herbal blend for taste
Instructions:
Measure the root: Use about 1 teaspoon of dried Bloody Geranium Root. If you have fresh root, you may use a slightly larger amount but dried is preferred for consistency.
Boil water: Bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil.
Steep the root: Place the dried root in a tea infuser or directly in your cup. Pour the boiling water over the root, cover the cup, and allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes. Covering helps preserve the volatile compounds and flavors.
Strain and serve: If the root is loose, strain the liquid using a fine mesh or tea strainer. Pour the tea into your favorite cup.
Add flavor if desired: Bloody Geranium Root tea has a mild, earthy taste which can be complemented with a spoonful of honey or a slice of lemon. You may also mix it with other herbal teas like chamomile or mint for a unique blend.
Enjoy: Sip your tea slowly, savoring its calm and soothing qualities.
Additional Tips for Consumption:
Frequency: You can enjoy this tea up to twice daily. It’s gentle enough to be part of your daily routine.
Storage: Store your dried Bloody Geranium Root in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to keep it fresh.
Complementary Uses: Beyond tea, the root powder can be added to smoothies or homemade herbal capsules, but always ensure you source it from reputable suppliers and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
