Ali Baba Sage Tea (Ada Çayı) comes in a 100 g jar, and the producer lists a single ingredient: dried sage. Ada çayı is the Turkish name for sage, a herbal tea that is especially popular in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions. The infusion is a pale golden-green with a strong, earthy aroma and a mild bitterness, a taste many people enjoy in a quiet cup.
Use about one teaspoon of leaves per cup, pour over freshly boiled water, cover, and steep for five to seven minutes before straining. A slice of lemon or a little honey rounds off the bitterness, and sage also blends nicely with a few mint leaves or a cinnamon stick. Sage is a strong herb, so a cup or two a day is plenty.
Store the jar closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a medical condition, check with your doctor before drinking sage tea regularly.
