Mix the herbs into the quart of water in an enamael saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, covered. Strain the tea and pour back into the well-rinsed saucepan. Bring the tea back to a simmer with the lid off and cook it down slowly until half of the original liquid remains. This creates a more potent formula than the original tea.
