1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
2 cups water
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
1. Boil the Water
Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.
2. Add Parsley
Once the water is boiling, add the chopped parsley leaves. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the parsley to release its beneficial compounds into the water.
3. Strain the Tea
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the tea into a cup to remove the parsley leaves.
4. Add Lemon and Honey
Add the juice of half a lemon and stir in honey if desired for a bit of sweetness. Lemon juice adds a refreshing taste and boosts the tea’s diuretic effect.
5. Enjoy
Sip your parsley tea slowly, enjoying its fresh and herbaceous flavor.
