Gathering the Leaves: Begin by collecting fresh Cuban oregano leaves. Choose leaves that are vibrant and aromatic for the best flavor.
Boiling Water Infusion: Bring water to a boil in a kettle or saucepan. For every cup of water, use a generous handful of Cuban oregano leaves. Submerge the leaves in the boiling water.
Steeping Time: Allow the leaves to steep in the boiling water for approximately 10 minutes. This duration ensures the extraction of the rich flavors and aromatic compounds from the Cuban oregano.
Straining the Tea: After the steeping period, strain the tea to remove the leaves, leaving behind a clear and flavorful infusion.
Sweetening to Taste: Customize your Cuban Oregano Tea by adding sweeteners such as honey, agave syrup, or sugar to suit your palate. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Serving: Pour the tea into your favorite cup or mug. The aroma alone will entice your senses, and the taste will captivate your palate.
