A MULTI-PURPOSE HEALING TEA
Imagine having a tea that will get rid of oily skin, improve your
memory, calm a nagging cough, produce breast milk for nursing mothers and serve as a natural antacid in place of either Tums or Rolaids for heartburn and indigestion.
Well, all of these wonderful things can be accomplished simply by bringing 1 quart of water to a boil. Then add about 7 tsp. of aniseed, reduce heat to a lower setting and simmer contents down to 1-1/2 pints. Then strain, and while still warm, add 4 tbsp. each of honey and glycerin (obtained from a drugstore to preserve syrup tea).
Take 2 tsp. of this syrup every few hours to relieve hacking coughs, or 2 tbsp. three times daily to strengthen the memory.
If using as a tea, omit and drink 2 cups once or twice daily for skin problems, milk needs or to relieve stomach problems.

Two teaspoons of Green tea in a cup of boiling water, makes a delicious, refreshing cuppa. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, or a teaspoon of honey if desired. Cooled tea can also be added to fruit juices, jellies, syrups, cakes, jams and iced teas. Add to stocks, stews and
even soups for extra nourishment.
