How to prepare it?
Put half a liter of hot water with the herbs. Stir it and keep it covered for an hour, then strain it through a strainer. If you like the taste of honey and a sweeter touch, add a little bit (warm it a little so that it dissolves well). Let everything cool to room temperature. Once it is cold you can start drinking it throughout the day. You can safely take 300ml a day and the ideal is that you take it slowly throughout the day and not all at once so that the body assimilates it well.
