Preparing Mullein Tea

Mullein tea is a popular way to enjoy the respiratory and relaxing benefits of this herb. To make it, steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried mullein flowers in about one cup of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain the tea to remove any fine hairs that could irritate the throat. You can enjoy this tea 2-3 times a day to help soothe coughs, inflammation, and promote relaxation.

Making Mullein Infused Oil

For ear infections, skin conditions, or joint pain, mullein infused oil is an effective remedy. Here’s how to make it:

Fill a sterilized jar halfway with dried mullein flowers.
Pour a carrier oil, such as olive oil or sweet almond oil, over the flowers until the jar is nearly full, ensuring the flowers are completely submerged.
Seal the jar and place it in a warm, sunny spot for 2-4 weeks to allow the properties of the flowers to infuse into the oil.
Strain the oil through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove all plant material. Store the oil in a clean, airtight bottle in a cool, dark place.
