Best French Cherry Stalkstem Herbal Tea Tisane Infusion 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 STEM INFUSION OR TEA
Cherry stems make an enjoyable infusion, so save the stems! In France, this infusion is often taken for its detox/diuretic properties. Make a good amount of the dried cherry stems at one time, then make small amounts of tea from this when you want.

Steps:
- When you pit cherries, put the cherries in a bowl, and put the stems aside on some newspaper.
- Dry the stems on the newspaper for several days in normal heat, until dry.
- For this recipe, I gave the figure of 8 ounces, but that is arbitrary. '80 stems' is also arbitrary. I couldn't continue with the recipe any other way according to the given formats. Any amount can be done.
- To make a reasonable amount of tea, take a small handful of cherry stems and boil them in a small saucepan of water, about 1 liter, or 2 pints. Let it all boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to infuse for 10 minutes or so. You will get almost 5 teacups per liter.
- Drink 3 cups a day, at intervals away from the meal, to promote elimination.

LEMON VERBENA AND MINT TEA - FRENCH VERVEINE AND MINT TISANE
This is my elderly French neighbour's recipe for a refreshing and popular French tisane, she drinks it almost daily as a digestif, using dried lemon verbena and mint leaves in the winter. Tisanes are popular in France, and most salons de thé serve all manner of wonderful natural tisanes and teas, with exotic herbs and spices, as well as fruit and berries. Nearly all French gardens have Lemon Verbena growing, it also grows wild on the hedgerows this far South in France, and it is added to all manner of things in the kitchen - from soups to sauces, and of course it makes a refreshing and easy drink. This can be served warm or chilled with ice. Garnish with fresh lemon verbena leaves.
