Red Clover
Red clover is a multi-stemmed perennial that thrives in humid, grassy
meadows throughout the world. It is much larger than its familiar
relative, white clover, which is the low-growing, and vigorously spreading
lawn weed. Both, however, exhibit a similar "trifolium" (three
leaf) pattern and white arrowhead-shaped leaf markings. It is the compact,
pink flower tops of the red clover plant that are dried and used
medicinally - as they have been for centuries.
The expectorant and
anti-spasmodic properties of red clover justify its use for repiratory
conditions like asthma and bronchitis. It has also been used externally
for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The concentrated
isoflavones within red clover have been the subject of many studies, and
research suggests benefits for menopausal symptoms as well as cancer and
cardiovascular disorders.
Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
Cautions
Do not use during pregnancy unless recommended by your health practitioner.

The Disparities
Publisher's Notes In this, Rodrigo Toscano's first full-length collection of poetry, the author explores "how things wouldn't happen." The Disparities brings together official and unofficial histories that vie with one another to expose new meanings created between "the gaps." Time, in this highly original work of poetry, is "unwound," revealing new significance for the things of the world, "not apples and oranges / but fruits / off the same carved-up tree."
