Cut, dried yarrow flowers and leaves (Achillea millefolium) with a bright, herbaceous character and a pleasantly bitter flavor with soft floral and sage-like notes. A traditional European and North American herb, yarrow has been steeped as a warming cup for centuries. Its Latin name honors Achilles, who legend says carried it into battle.
Yarrow’s bold bitterness is a love-it-or-hate-it trait. To soften it, blend yarrow with peppermint, elderflower, chamomile or lemon balm, and add a spoonful of honey. Yarrow, elderflower and peppermint together make a classic cold-weather blend.
Ingredients: Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Hot brew: 1 teaspoon (or 1 tea bag) per 8 oz of water at 212°F. Cover and steep 10 minutes. Sweeten with honey.
Winter blend: Steep ½ teaspoon of yarrow with ½ teaspoon each of elderflower and peppermint in 8 oz of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Caffeine: None. Naturally caffeine-free.
⚠️ Consult your healthcare provider. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or by children. Avoid if allergic to ragweed, daisies, chamomile or chrysanthemums. Use caution if you take blood-thinning medication, sedatives or lithium. Stop use 2 weeks before surgery.
