Marjoram Tea
Renee' Groskreutz
It’s time to get familiar with the woodsy, bright flavor of marjoram! Make a cup of this Marjoram Tea that you can drink hot or over ice.

Cuisine Mediterranean
- ¼ c of dried marjoram leaves not fresh or ground
- 12 oz of fresh cold water
- Tea ball or cheesecloth
- Sweetener if desired
Bring water to a boil. Set aside.
Pack the dried marjoram into a tea ball or tie the spice into a length of cheese cloth and secure tightly.
Set marjoram in heat-safe mug and carefully pour the steaming but not boiling water over.
Steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer the tea rests in the water, the more fragrant and strong the tea, but it may become bitter after 5 minutes.
Remove marjoram and sweeten as desired.
For iced marjoram tea, pour the sweetened warm tea over ice in a tall glass. Stir.
