Create an infusion of strawberry leaf - PEP BB medicine.sand.strawberryinfusion

I learned about and  dried some strawberry leaves just in time to have my baby. Now I am thrilled to try them in a sitz bath infusion. I used fresh leaves this time because I had a helper to pick them for me, but I hope it feels just as good to use them dried next time. The astringent nature of the leaves felt amazing for over-stretched tissue down below. It made for an amazing sitz bath. I brewed a large pot of water, infused the leaves for half an hour (with some spearmint, which smelled great!) and then strained it all and dumped it in my bathtub. Ahhhh.....                                            

Strawberry tea/infusion made as a side to the berries. #usingeverything

Tasted kind of bland, but it was nice and warm. For later infusions I think I`ll mix it with other herbs.

I have to agree with Vegard about this infusion being not super exciting.  Maybe my expectations were set too high given how delicious strawberries are.  The infusion reminded me a bit of green leaf fireweed tea, but with a little less flavor.

I agree with the other folks here, a little bland. After I tried it on its own, I added some of the other infusions which totally overwhelmed the taste… not entirely sure how to correct.
