Recipe Introduction
Many people are discouraged from making their own flaxseed tea because when heated in liquid, whole flaxseeds will become somewhat gummy and slimy. Because of this quality, flaxseeds can often serve as a binder in some recipes. However, this will not happen with ground flaxseeds that aresteeped in hot liquid. This unique tea has a rich, yet delicate flavor that comforts the spirits when that craving for a soothing cup of tea comes along.
List of Ingredients
4 T. flaxseed meal
2 C. (480 ml) boiling water
Dash or 2 of ground cinnamon
Evaporated cane juice to taste
Recipe
Measure the flaxseed meal into a 2-cup (480 ml) measuring cup and fill with boiling water. Allow to steep about 12 to 15 minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the steeped tea through the strainer into another 2-cup measure or small pitcher.
Shake a dash or 2 of ground cinnamon and sweeten to taste with evaporated cane juice.
Makes 1 very large cup or 2 generous teacups of delicious flaxseed tea.
