Grandma's tea
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This tea has a calming effect. Although it's truly very beneficial, it should be consumed in moderation. One glass a day is quite sufficient. You can optionally add dried raspberry or blackcurrant leaves, as well as a bit of thyme or a few chamomile flowers for aroma. Serve chilled.

Step 1
First, brew regular green tea. To do this, boil water in a kettle. Pour one teaspoon of tea leaves with 100 milliliters of boiling water, cover with a lid, and let it steep. Then add this brewed tea to another 100 milliliters of boiling water and mix well.

Step 3
Tear the lemon balm leaves into small pieces and place them into the teapot. Add the hawthorn berries to the teapot as well. Now pour the previously prepared green tea over the contents. The tea should be hot, but not boiling water. Cover the teapot with a lid and wrap it in a thick towel. Let the tea steep for 15 minutes.

The finished tea should turn a rich amber color. Pour the tea into mugs or glasses and enjoy this healing, soothing drink. There's no need to add sugar, especially if you've already added a little honey to the teapot.
