To make an infusion, place 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb in a tea infuser or teapot or mug for each cup of tea you intend to brew. Cover with boiling water. Place on the lid (or cover your cup with a saucer). Allow the mixture to steep for 10' to 15' minutes or overnight. Then strain the tea and serve. Drink 1-3 cups of tea a day. Add if you want honey, milk or lemon wedge for flavour.

Although plantain is generally considered safe to use medicinally, consuming more than the recommended dosage may cause a fall in blood pressure and diarrhea. It may cause allergies. In any case you should consult with your healthcare doctor before using any herb especially if you’re taking other medications or having health problems.
