Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Grind the Schisandra berries in a spice mill to a fine powder. Combine the powder in a saucepan with the licorice, ginger and 5 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Uncover the pan, reduce the heat to medium low and let the tea simmer for 20 minutes. Do not cook any longer, as the tea will become unbearably bitter. Strain through a fine sieve, add honey to taste and serve.
