LINSEED TEA

• 2 tablespoons of golden flax seeds

• 2 pints of water

1.  Bring to the boil. 

2. Turn the heat off and leave for a minimum of 20 minutes or ideally 12 hours.

3.  Bring back to the boil.

4. Simmer 15-60 minutes.

5. Sieve and remove the seeds.

6.  The mixture should be a light golden colour and a syrupy consistency.

7.  This mixture will last 3 days in the fridge.

8.  Take 3 times a day or until you feel better.

If you struggle to drink it on its own, I often add a couple of tablespoons to chamomile tea as it can make it more palatable especially when you start.

Linseed tea provides essential fatty acids and fibre, and hydrates at a cellular level. When cells are hydrated, they release toxins and revert to an alkaline state.  This is great for inflammation and acidity which underpins most illnesses.
