Yarrow tea is a herbal infusion made from the dried flowers and leaves of the yarrow plant, scientifically known as Achillea millefolium. This plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine due to its numerous health benefits. The tea is known for its slightly bitter taste with earthy undertones and a hint of sweetness. Yarrow tea is often consumed to support digestive health, reduce inflammation, and alleviate symptoms of colds and flu. It is also believed to have mild diuretic properties and can help in regulating menstrual cycles. The tea is typically prepared by steeping one to two teaspoons of dried yarrow in hot water for about 10 to 15 minutes. It can be enjoyed on its own or sweetened with honey to enhance its flavor.
