How do you make epazote tea?
Epazote tea is made from boiling the leaves and/or stems of the epazote plant. (also called wormseed) When making the tea, start with just a handful at most; working your way up to higher potency. Too much can potentially be toxic. (not to fear though, as you would have to use quite a lot) Mostly, you'll just want to let you body get used to the effects of the tea gradually. Epazote can be found in the produce section of most Mexican markets and some farmers markets. However, growing some fresh is better for taste as they have a pungent, sometimes bitter, flavor that gets stronger as the leaves get older. They are considered weeds in most warm or tropical climates and are easy to grow throughout Central and South America. (I live in California and my plant has already survived one winter here)
