Ingredient NotesOnion, carrot, and potato bring natural sweetness to the savory tea. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables. However, keep the quantity moderate to avoid a thick consistency if you choose to blend your tea. My suggestions is to use a small quantity of vegetables and two-three different once to appreciate their flavor.
Instructions
Add all the chopped vegetables to a pot. Pour cold water and add salt.
Cover with a lid and set the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are softened and pierce easily with a fork.
Let the savory tea cool a bit. You can either enjoy the infused water or blend the vegetables for added fiber.
Pour the savory tea into a mug and drink it warm.
