Ingredients

  • 5-10 hop cones
  • 4 cups water just below boiling
  • sweetener optional

Instructions

  • Harvest your hops. You will need 5-10 hop cones to make a small teapot.
  • Put your hop cones into your teapot or brew basket.
  • Pour hot water over the cones. Don’t use boiling water because it will destroy some of the medicinal properties of the hops.
  • Put a lid on the teapot or teacup. The medicinal properties can escape in the steam, so keep it covered while it brews.
  • Let your tea brew for approximately 15 minutes and strain into a cup.

Notes

  • Scale up or down depending on the amount of hop tea you would like.
  • Be sure to put a lid on the teapot or teacup to keep the medicinal benefits in the tea.
