This traditional herbal tea from the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts is made by steeping dried sage leaves in boiling water. Served plain, it is known for its sharp, herbal aroma.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the Water

5 min

Bring the water to a boil and remove it from the heat.

2

Steep the Sage

8 min

Add the sage leaves to the boiled water, cover, and let steep for 5–8 minutes.

3

Strain and Serve

5 min

Strain the tea into cups and serve hot, sweetened with honey if desired.

Reminder

Important: Do not boil the sage for a long time. Add it to freshly boiled water and let it steep; boiling can leave a bitter taste. Caution: People who take regular medication should consult their doctor about possible interactions with frequent consumption.

Tarifte yazan sıcaklık bende biraz yüksek geldi, kısarak denedim.

Ölçüleri gram cinsinden verseniz daha net olur, bardak ölçüsü bende farklı çıktı. Bekletme süresini kısalttım, yine de güzel açıldı.

Bekletme süresini atladım, tadı biraz eksik kaldı. Bende biraz kurudu, muhtemelen fazla pişirdim. İlk seferde dağıldı, ikinci denemede daha iyi tutundu.
