Winter time calls for warming herbs that help us circulate, clear out and renew. Stuck indoors with stuffy, dry air and depressed immunity leads to lingering coughs and colds that take weeks to clear up. That is why I created the “Deep Breath” blend with equal parts wildcrafted mugwort, mullein and mint. A splash of lemon adds Vitamin C and a touch of honey sweetens this medicinal brew that my whole family loves – and yours will, too!

Simple Ingredients: 

Lemon juice, honey, and Deep Breath bulk or individual sachets

6 – 8 heaping Tablespoons of our “Deep Breath” blended herbs (buy it directly from the Homestead!)

3 – 4 Tablespoons Organic Lemon Juice

3 – 4 Tablespoons Raw, local Honey

3 – 4 quarts boiling water

1 large crock or jar

Easy Instructions: 

Spoon 2 T blended herbs into a coffee filter

Close with a twisty-tie. Make 3 of these & place into jar. Alternatively, you can use up to 6 infusion sachets, available in our online store!

Add honey & lemon juice. Pour boiling water into jar.

Cover and steep at least 20 minutes. Store in the fridge and serve chilled or reheat as needed
