So true about our modern diets. To anyone just starting the journey, be encouraged! Your taste buds do change 💚 Eventually.
Mint or lemon can definitely do wonders for the taste of some herbal infusions. I appreciate the caution that adding things might mess with the effect one is looking for.
Some things are definitely worse with honey/sweetener, like nettle 🤢 To me nettle tastes like seaweed and is better with salt or garlic. I'm wondering if juice from a lacto-ferment might be good too.
Little and often is a rule of thumb I've heard a few times from other herbalists. Depending on the condition you're treating and the plants you are working with. But it's often better to have a half cup of infusion or a few drops of tincture every couple hours than to drink it all at once.
I find my preferred temperature to drink infusions varies based on the individual herb or blend. Some are better hot and some are better cold.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight 😎
