Begin your journey by carefully harvesting fresh Hemlock needles. Ensure they are free from any contamination and gather them on a dry day for optimal flavor.
Step 2: Drying The Hemlock Needles
Spread the harvested Hemlock needles on a clean, dry surface and allow them to air-dry for a day. Alternatively, you can use a dehydrator at a low temperature to expedite the drying process.
Step 3: Infusing Tranquility
Place the dried Hemlock needles in a teapot, along with a cinnamon stick. Boil 2 cups of filtered water and pour it over the ingredients in the teapot. Let the infusion steep for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.
Step 4: Straining And Serving
Carefully strain the tea into your favorite cup, ensuring no needles remain. Add honey to sweeten if desired, and give it a gentle stir. Hemlock Tea is now ready to be savored.
