- 1). Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a teapot, kettle, or small saucepan. Although you'll only need about six ounces of water, some will evaporate as you heat it.
- 2). Put the sage into a tea ball or place it directly into the tea cup.
- 3). Pour boiling water over the tea ball or sage in the cup. Allow the tea to steep for about five minutes. The longer you steep the tea, the stronger it will be. Very strong sage tea may be unpleasantly bitter, but tea that is too weak may not have therapeutic benefits.
- 4). Remove the tea ball from the cup if you're using one. Otherwise, use a sieve to strain the sage from the water.
- 5). Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and honey or other sweetener if desired.
