I was introduced to this fragrant tea by a friend in Guadeloupe who lived off the land. Who knew that you could drink thyme?

Ingredients

  • 15 sprigs of dried thyme
  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
    • <

Method

Put the thyme and water in a small saucepan and boil for 5 minutes; alternatively, bring the water to a boil, pour it over the thyme, cover, and steep for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Strain, then sweeten to taste. Reheat if necessary.
