Mullein, Peppermint & Horehound Tea
Ingredients
•2-4 teaspoons of Dried Organic Mullein Leaf (nature’s respiratory specialist) of
1 teaspoon of Dried Organic Peppermint Leaves the cooling catalyst.
•½ teaspoon of Dried Organic Horehound (The Master of Congestion)
•¼ teaspoon of Dried Organic Lavender Flowers (The floral balancer)
8 to 12 Ounces of pure, filtered water
•A fine metal mesh strainer (Essential for a smooth experience)
Preparation
Brewing the Tea
Water ratio: Use about 1 cup of water per 1–2 teaspoons of fresh mullein leaves
Brew: Heat water until it comes to 186 degrees in an electric kettle . Steep 2-4 teaspoons of loose tea—or tea ball or diffuser or tea bag, in a covered mug of hot water for 10-15 minutes. (longer steeping increases flavor)
Pour the tea through the metal fine mesh strainer. This removes the tiny plant hairs that can irritate the throat.
Enjoy: Drink it steaming hot to open the airways, or pour it over ice for a crisp, lung-loving refresher.
This blend creates a total respiratory and nervous system "reset" by working in perfect harmony:
Mullein (The Expectorant): It provides a "deep clean," thinning out stubborn mucus while its natural mucilage coats and protects irritated lung and throat tissue.
Peppermint (The Antispasmodic): Its menthol content cools inflammation and relaxes the respiratory muscles, opening up the passages for easier airflow.
Horehound (The Stimulant): This bitter powerhouse breaks up the toughest "gunk" in the chest, ensuring your body can effectively clear out what doesn't belong.
Lavender (The Relaxant): Often, a persistent cough or breathing difficulty causes the chest and neck muscles to tighten in stress. Lavender provides a gentle anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effect, calming the physical tension of the body and smoothing out the flavor of the more bitter herbs.
Together, these four herbs don't just clear your airways—they transform. They work in harmony to break up congestion, relax your chest and provide the cooling relief needed to finally take that full, effortless breath.
