- 2–4 fresh oregano leaves, or 1–2 teaspoons of dried oregano
- 2 cinnamon sticks, optional
- 2 cups of water
Optional additions:
- A small slice of fresh lemon
- A little honey for sweetness
Honey should not be given to children younger than 12 months.
For the best flavor, choose clean, food-grade oregano leaves. Fresh oregano provides a mild herbal aroma, while dried oregano often has a more concentrated flavor.
How to Make Oregano Tea Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the fresh oregano leaves thoroughly under clean running water. If you are using dried oregano, measure the desired amount before brewing.
Cinnamon is optional, but it adds a naturally sweet, warming aroma that complements oregano’s earthy taste.
Step 2: Add Water and Herbs
Place the oregano leaves and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan. Add two cups of water.
Step 3: Bring the Mixture to a Boil
Heat the mixture until the water reaches a boil. Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer gently for approximately five minutes.
