What each ingredient does
- Dried moss
- Iceland moss releases mucilage into the water, giving the tea a thick, soothing body.
The step that matters
Strain while hot. Iceland moss mucilage thickens and gels as the liquid cools. Straining while the tea is still hot keeps it fluid enough to pass through the strainer cleanly.
