Warm, earthy, and grounding, this burdock root tea is a simple way to tap into the cleansing and fortifying powers of this powerhouse herb. Perfect for a cozy evening or as part of your daily wellness ritual, this tea supports digestion, skin health, and a healthy inflammatory response.
Burdock root has been treasured in traditional herbal medicine as a gentle yet effective blood purifier and liver supporter, helping the body eliminate toxins through its natural detoxification pathways. Rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, burdock also supports digestive health while providing minerals like potassium, iron, and magnesium. Many herbalists particularly value burdock for its ability to promote clear, healthy skin from the inside out, as it helps address the root causes of skin concerns rather than just treating symptoms.
This deeply nourishing root creates a satisfying, coffee-like brew with a mild, pleasant bitterness that becomes more enjoyable with regular use, making it an ideal addition to any detox routine or long-term wellness practice.

Simmer the root: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the dried burdock root, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Strain and serve: Remove the tea from heat and strain the liquid into your favorite mug, discarding the burdock root.
Optional extras: Stir in raw honey for a touch of sweetness or add a splash of lemon for a bright, refreshing twist.
Sip and enjoy: Serve warm and savor this earthy, herbal goodness.
Pro Tip: For a stronger brew, let the burdock root steep an additional 5 minutes. You can also prepare a large batch and refrigerate it for up to 3 days-enjoy it cold or reheat as needed.
