ColorChallenge - Wednesday Yellow Edible Muellein

Tall and straight grows the Muellein in the wild offering nectar to a variety of eager insects. The plants fuzzy, velvet-like leaves and yellow flowers are both edible. Many people use them to steep tea for an afternoon delight.

​

Muellein Tea

​

1-2 tsps of dried mullein leaves and/or flowers

1 cup boiling water

​

Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the dried mullein flowers and leaves. Steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Pour the liquid through a cheesecloth or a coffee filter to strain out the plant's tiny hairs as they may irritate the throat.

​

Mullein leaf tea has a soothing effect on the urinary tract and facilitates urination. It also eases a nervous, irritable bladder and incontinence. Prepare mullein tea as directed above (minus the mullein flowers) and drink 3 - 4 cups daily. (Be sure to ask your health practitioner first if this is suitable for your condition.)
