To make flaxseed tea, simply add 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds to a cup of boiling water. Let the tea steep for 5-10 minutes, then strain and enjoy. You can add honey or lemon to taste.
Tips for making flaxseed tea
- Use whole flaxseeds, not ground flaxseed. Ground flaxseed will not release its nutrients as easily as whole flaxseed.
- Grind the flaxseeds yourself if possible. Grinding the flaxseeds yourself will help to release their nutrients.
- Use filtered or spring water for the best flavor.
- Store flaxseed tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
