Directions

Prepare the Wild Yam Root: If you have dried wild yam root, measure out about 1 teaspoon. If using fresh, chop it into small pieces (about 1 tablespoon).
Boil the Water: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
Steep the Tea: Add the wild yam root to the water, reduce heat, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. The longer it simmers, the stronger the tea will be.
Strain and Serve: Once done, strain the tea into a cup.
Optional Additions: Add honey or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
