Bring decoction to a boil them immediately reduce to simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the herbs with a fine mesh strainer while catching the liquid in a large mug. The remaining herbs can be saved for another dose of fresh tea later in the day. The properties of astragalus make it one of the best go-to immune and energy boosting herbs. Astragalus is naturally sweet but if you prefer you can sweeten your winter tonic with 1/2 ts honey. Ginger warms the body and increases the body's ability to stave off colds. The addition of other warming herbs (black peppercorn, cloves, and cinnamon) enhance this teas function of clearing out colds which involve symptoms such as chills, headache, runny nose, thick nasal discharge, and a scratchy throat.
