Note: where the recipes give the measurements in parts, you have the liberty of increasing your bulk reserve quantity. Your part might be in a teaspoon, a tablespoon, or a cup. If you expect to be making this tea more often, I would recommend preparing a larger mix, and putting it away in a canister or jar. Then just dip out by spoon the amount needed for each cup or pot of tea you make.

Of course, you can do this with the other recipes too, but you will have to watch for ingredients of different quantities to get the proportions right.
