Eucalyptus
The leaf of the native Australian evergreen contains a volatile oil that
is powerful and immediately recognizable. Commonly used in cough and cold
lozenges, the expectorant properties of eucalyptus make it useful for
conditions related to the respiratory tract and sinuses. Eucalyptus added
to a stem bath is a wonderful way to clear out the breathing passages.
Additionally, eucalyptus has anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic properties
that translate into effective internal and external cleansing. Applied
topically, eucalyptus eases joint pain and muscle aches, making it no
surprise why many vapor rubs on the market have a strong eucalyptus
component present.
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].
