General Information:

Sassafras, a tree native to North America, is known for its distinctive leaves and aromatic properties. It can grow up to 60 feet tall and features three types of leaves: unlobed, bilobed (mitten-shaped), and trilobed, all on the same tree. The tree's bark and roots are used for various purposes, including flavoring root beer and as a traditional medicine. The bark of mature sassafras trees is dark red-brown and deeply furrowed. 

Sassafras apparently is the American Indian name used by the Spanish and French settlers in Florida in the middle of the 16th century. All parts of the sassafras plant are spicy and aromatic. The roots, bark, leaves, new shoots, and pith from the branches of sassafras were used extensively for a wide variety of purposes by may Native American tribes. Sassafras has been cultivated since 1630 for its leaves, bark, and wood. The plants are used for tea, oil, and soap.  The heartwood is orange-brown and course-grained. 

How to use:

Hot Infusion:

The basic method for dried herbs is, take 2-3 tablespoons of dried herb in a cup of teapot. Pour hot water over it and cover it with lid for 10-30 minutes. Hot water is needed to draw out the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals. Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!

Tips:

  • You can sweeten your herbal tea with bit of honey, natural fruit juice, stevia leaves powder and or licorice root powder.
  • You can make ice cubes or pops by freezing tea in ice tray or pop molds.

Precautions: 

You should consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
