      Yield: 2 cups 
  
      1    Handful fresh red clover                 Fresh mint leaves (opt'l.) 
           Blossoms, w/a few leaves                 -and/or- 
           Lemon                                    Several dandelion leaves 
           Honey                                    ;(opt'l.) 
  
  Put the blossoms and leaves into a 2-cup earthenware teapot.  Fill teapot 
  with boiling water, cover, and infuse for 5 to 10 minutes over very low 
  heat.  Set the pot on a trivet over the burner, if necessary, to protect it 
  from breaking.  Strain into a hot cup, add a twist of lemon and sweeten 
  with honey. 
   
  Some fresh mint leaves and/or several dandelion leaves can be used with the 
  clover blossoms. 
   
  Note:  Red clover blossoms may be dried to use for tea.  Spread the 
  blossoms out into a single layer on a tray and dry them in the sun. Use 
  less of the dried flowers, 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. to 1 cup of water, to make the 
  tea.
