the How to:
Strawberry Moon Tea
• 3-4 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup Red Raspberry Leaf (dried)
• enough water to cover the berries while cooking + ice/water for cooling & thinning after
• Sweetener to taste, if needed—our berries were sweet!
1. Prep fresh berries with thorough cleaning, hulling & cutting in half. Or just dump out some frozen from their bag.
2. Once in the pot, cover berries with water. Bring to a boil & reduce to simmer. Mash them a bit & cover with a lid.
3. Cook down for 8-10 minutes. (I bet you 5 bucks you can’t resist a Maria/Sound of Music twirl when the strawberry smell fills your kitchen! That’s medicine in its own right. No spoonfuls of sugar needed.

4. Take your pot off the heat & add your leaves. Combine well & allow to sit for an hour or so.
5. Strain & if needed, sweeten while still warm. Add ice & cold water to reach the right consistency. Depending on the berries, it may be a little syrupy to start. Which makes me think popsicles would’ve been a fun alternative. 🌞
After adding water at the end, our batch made about 8 cups of Strawberry Moon Tea.
Herbally and nutritionally, it’s easy to lock in on one thing as the fix. But that’s mainly due to our Western allopathic This for That healthcare model. Just remember, each whole food (including herbs!) has a number of benefits. Variety is key & they work best as a team.
🧠 And did you know?
Though red raspberry has a special affinity for tightening and toning tissues, it’s not just the uterus.
📝 She’s also known to:
• make a fab mouthwash for spongy gums, mouth ulcers, or a sore and swollen throat.
• ease free flowing clear mucus due to colds & allergies
• slow the bowels during non-infectious diarrhea
• relieve spermatorrhea (excessive involuntary ej*******on)
so there you have it. Herbs never do just the one thing!
PS — strawberry greens are high in Vit C & said to relieve grief. Repeated, I’d skip hulling!
