🍵 How to Prepare Myrrh Tea

Myrrh is a resin, so it’s best extracted through simmering (not steeping like typical herbal teas):
1. Use about ¼ to ½ teaspoon of pure myrrh resin (powdered or granules)
2. Add to 1 cup of hot water
3. Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes
4. Strain through a fine mesh or cloth
5. Sweeten with honey if desired (myrrh is very bitter)

⚠️ Important: Do not use more than 1 cup per day internally, and only for short durations (5–7 days), unless under supervision from a qualified practitioner. Myrrh is potent and can be irritating in excess.
