General Information:
Fireweed is a resilient and vibrant plant, known for its striking pink-purple flowers that bloom in summer, often around early July in cooler climates. Thriving in recently disturbed or open areas, fireweed is a pioneer species, bringing life and color to landscapes. Its symmetrical four-petaled flowers and tall, willow-like leaves make it easily recognizable. In the Kootenays, our fireweed is wild-harvested with care, ensuring sustainability and preserving its natural potency.

How to Use:
Hot Infusion:

1. Place 2-3 tablespoons of dried fireweed in a teapot or cup.
2. Pour hot water over the herbs and cover with a lid.
3. Steep for 10-30 minutes to extract antioxidants, vitamins, and flavonoids.
4. Strain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Enjoy!

Tips:

• Sweeten your tea with honey, stevia, or licorice root powder for added flavor.
• For a refreshing summer treat, freeze the tea into ice cubes or popsicle molds.
