    1. My wife grows several varieties of sage for our kitchen and herbal remedies. For a subtle and delightful treat try interchanging varieties of sage.
      Tri color and wild pasture sage are quite pleasant.

  1. Hi! I have experienced the pleasure of drinking sage tea. I liked the taste. Your recipe sounds interesting. I had heard that sage tea was good for the adrenal glands. That is why I started drinking it. Slowing life down, getting enough sleep, and drinking sage tea are all good for the adrenal glands.

  2. HI MARISSA,
    Thank you for the recipe. I started a small herb garden last year and look forward to planting sage this spring and trying this tea. I’d like to say a big thank you for all the wonderful tips and recipes that you have offered your subscribers. They are very helpful.

    Thanks again

  3. Hi, Merissa! This is such a nice article, and I love drinking sage tea too! It helps me relax after a long and exhausting day at work. I haven’t tried adding some lemon to it, so I’ll definitely try next time. 🙂 Regards!

  4. Hi Merissa, I grow my own sage and will start drinking it. My husband is on Xarelto a bloodthinner. Is there any problems with drinking sage tea withis medication that you are aware of? Thank you for all the great tips and articles.

  5. I just made it this morning and loved it! I’ve been looking for a recipe for some dried sage that I was given. I just used a little less sage since it was dried. I may try less cloves next time, just my preference, but wanted to try the recipe as written first. Thanks a lot! I have a new nighttime tea!

  6. Thank you for the recipe. My Covid family is sipping in hopes of relief. I just so happen to have all the ingredients.
