Boiling the Water: Boil 2 cups of water in a kettle or saucepan.
Steeping the Leaves: Add the dried loquat leaves to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the leaves steep for 10-15 minutes.
Strain the Tea: After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves, ensuring only the liquid is left in your cup.
Flavoring the Tea: Optionally, add honey or a slice of lemon for extra flavor and health benefits.
Serve: Pour the tea into a cup and enjoy warm for a soothing, health-boosting beverage.
