This tea sounds lovely. I did have a question Do you use the seeds whole or do you crush them first?

Thanks! I use the seeds whole. If you crushed them, you might be able to brew them as a traditional tea (rather than a decoction). But I don’t know if that would get you all the nice mucilage that the decoction does.

The recipe for the flax seed tea came right on time.
I made it yesterday and it works well.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I will also pass it on.

I remembered reading about his tea. My mom is very sick w/ flu so I am making this for her today. She doesn’t like to take any medications so she will be happy for a natural remedy. Thanks for the nice post!

Hi Marjetta. I usually strain out the seeds — you could try eating them, though, if you wanted to. You could bake with them, too.
