Buckwheat Tea

8 years plus of not being able to have tea can really cause one misery.

Tea is high in salicylates. Even when I could have tea (before I had the anaphylaxis), they caused me to be wide awake the whole night! Some even gave me migraines from the bowels of Hades.

So I did some research recently.

Buckwheat is negligible in salicylate. And one can make tea out of it.

YAY!

I washed 500gm of buckwheat groats and baked them at 180C for 1/2 hour. You can also bake them until golden brown.

I got a tea infuser.

Once they were cool, I poured them into a jar. 

I placed about a teaspoon of the buckwheat groats into the infuser. 

Then I dunked it into a cup of boiling water. 

Voila! Buckwheat tea!

Alternatively, you could buy these tea bags and use them instead if you do not have an infuser.
