2-oz yarrow Achillea millefolium leaves and flowers
2-pt boiling water
Honey to taste
Place the yarrow into a ceramic teapot and add the boiling water. Infuse the yarrow for 20 minutes then strain and sweeten with honey. Use half a cup every two hours. If yarrow is unavailable, sage, peppermint, hyssop, or elderflowers can be used. A dash of cayenne and ginger will enhance the action.
