How Do You Make Salvia Tea From Extract?
Salvia tea is made from the extract of the herb salvia divinorum. Salvia is employed for many other uses besides tea, such as smoking, chewing (also known as quid) and for making tiniture, which is a liquid extraction. Traditionally, the Mazatecs created a water-based drink of salvia, similar to tea, primarily drunk at religious ceremonies. The physical effects of consuming salvia vary in degree, depending upon how much is consumed. Generally, salvia grants users a mellow feeling. Making salvia tea from extract involves the same process as making any other tea from extract. Step 1 Bring 12 oz of water to a boil in a brewing pot. Step 2 Add 1 oz of dried salvia extract leaves to the boiling water, and allow it to boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Step 3 Remove the brewing pot from the burner, strain the leaves from the tea and allow the tea to steep for approximately 10 minutes. Step 4 Drink the tea plain, or add milk, honey and sugar to taste to curb the bitter edge of the tea.
