Directions
This sweet, bracing drink from rosemary gladstar slick is reminiscent of old-fashioned root beer, due to the sassafras.
It has a cleansing, revivifying effect from the dandelion, burdock and sarsaparilla.
Mix together all ingredients and store in a tightly closed container.
In a large pot combine 1 quart of water and 4 tablespoons of dry mixture.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Strain and sweeten with honey or stevia (also called "sweet herb") if desired.
Makes about 4 cups variation: for iced tea, chill the simmered mixture, then dilute it with 1 quart of sparkling water.
Serve over ice with a twist of orange peel.
