How to make sage tea
Although sage is usually made by boiling, it actually needs to be prepared by fermentation. This way, the nutritional values are better preserved and a more intense flavor can be obtained. Keeping it in boiling water for too long will cause the plant to lose its beneficial effects and the tea may taste bitter. It is suggested that boiling sage for more than two minutes can release toxic components and make the tea harmful.
