wifezilla: I dont know if it's better or not to be honest, I just copied the recipe from Bee's site

Thyme Tea

Do not use if you are pregnant.
Do not use medicinally if you have a thyroid condition. Studies show the herb suppresses normal thyroid activity.

Step1 Rinse a couple of twigs of fresh thyme from your garden or use 1 teaspoon of the dried herb.

Step2 I like to use a bamboo strainer to hold the herb.

Step3 Pour one cup of boiling water over the herb and steep 5 to 10 minutes.

Step4 I like to sweeten with Agave Nectar (less calories, less carbs) but honey is fine.
