Yield: 2 cups

1 Handful fresh red clover
Blossoms, w/a few leaves
Lemon
Honey
Fresh mint leaves (opt'l.)

Several dandelion leaves

Put the blossoms and leaves into a 2-cup earthenware
teapot. Fill teapot with boiling water, cover, and
infuse for 5 to 10 minutes over very low heat. Set
the pot on a trivet over the burner, if necessary, to
protect it from breaking. Strain into a hot cup, add
a twist of lemon and sweeten with honey.

Some fresh mint leaves and/or several dandelion leaves
can be used with the clover blossoms.

Note: Red clover blossoms may be dried to use for
tea. Spread the blossoms out into a single layer on a
tray and dry them in the sun. Use less of the dried
flowers, 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. to 1 cup of water, to make
the tea.

Yield: 2 cups.
