Best Cherry Stem Infusion Or Tea Recipes
FRENCH CHERRY STALK/STEM HERBAL TEA - TISANE - INFUSION
A simple recipe/method, which my very elderly French neighbour gave to me when I lived in the Poitou region of France - she had about a dozen cherry trees. The French drink this herbal "Tisane" regularly, especially ladies who diet, as the cherry stalk is known to help elimination and reduce water retention! The cherry stalks/stems contain potassium, salts and tannin, and it is known as a powerful diuretic. It is also used for preventing urinary tract infections. It is drunk by steeping the cherry stems in boiling water, and can be drunk hot or cold - with or without sugar. It has a fruity-woody flavour, and is a very refreshing drink.

CHERRY GINGER INFUSED TEA
This fruity tea is a fantastic beverage for hot days and soothing to an upset stomach any other time. Slightly sweetened fruit juice and tea is a healthy alternative to artificially-flavored powdered drinks. Try it with seltzer water instead of tea!
