Description

Juniper Berries – 2 oz bag, sourced as organic and naturally caffeine-free

Bot. Name: Juniperus communis

Juniper berry tea is a caffeine-free herbal infusion with a piney, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor, made from the aromatic cones of the juniper shrub, often crushed and steeped in hot water. It’s known for its use in traditional remedies for its potential diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s also a key flavoring in gin and marinades. To brew, gently crush the berries, simmer in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, then strain. 

Individuals with kidney disease, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with diabetes should avoid juniper berries in medicinal amounts. Juniper’s active compounds can irritate the kidneys, trigger uterine contractions, or severely lower blood sugar.
