Making calendula tea
This simple floral tea is great as a drink, it is particularly good for treating the first stages of UTIs.
You can also make it stronger and then decant it into a spray bottle and use it to calm sunburn, nettle stings and insect bites.
You need:
4 or 5 dried calendula flowers
Just boiled water
Teapot or jug and strainer
Method:
Pour just boiled water over the flower heads in a mug or jug and leave to steep - 10 minutes for a drink, 20-30 for the spray.
Strain the liquid and drink or decant into your spray bottle. You can also apply with a cotton swab. Keep in fridge and discard after 48 hours.
