Mexican Oregano Wellness Tea

Instructions

1. Bruise the Leaf: Gently tear or bruise the fresh leaf with your fingers to release the essential oils.

2. Steep: Place the leaf in a mug and pour the boiling water over it.

3. Cover: Cover the mug with a saucer. This prevents the beneficial aromatic oils from escaping with the steam.

4. Wait: Let it sit for about 5 minutes.

5. Enjoy: Remove the leaf and add honey if you prefer a sweeter taste.

 Recipe Notes & Tips

• Fresh is Best: This specific variety is much more potent when used fresh rather than dried.

• Potency: One leaf is usually enough! The flavor is very strong—much more intense than the Mediterranean oregano you find on pizza.

• Cooking: You can also finely mince one leaf and add it to black beans, stews, or fatty meats. It helps “cut” the heaviness and aids digestion.
