Couch Grass
Gardeners hate it - herbalists love it! Couch grass is a pernicious weed
that spreads rapidly by way of underground roots and rhizomes strangling
everything in its path. This aggressive perennial grass is found in all
parts of the world and has been used in medicine since the first century.
Couch grass had many uses in traditional medicine in many cultures,
especially for kidney ailments, and the roots are still used by
traditional peasants in South China and Hong Kong to make a herbal tonic
tea. Couch grass is recognized by the German E Commission for kidney and
urinary tract disorders, and its benefits are supported by in vitro
and animal studies.
Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag 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 tea bags 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 bags. 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].
