Nature Tea Watercress Herb Dried Nasturtium officinale — 4 oz C/S for Brewing & Culinary Use

Nature Tea Watercress Herb is dried Nasturtium officinale leaves, packaged as a 4 oz cut-and-sift product for brewing a mineral-rich herbal infusion.

Watercress has been used for centuries as an aquatic herb valued for its flavor and its traditional role in seasonal tonics. Sold here as a cut-and-sift (C/S) dried herb, this 4 oz pack is sourced from Eastern Europe and intended for steeping into hot infusions, blending with other teas, or adding to culinary recipes where a peppery, green note is desired. The dry leaves rehydrate quickly and release a fresh, vegetal aroma when brewed.

How do I make a cup of watercress tea at home?

Preparing a simple watercress infusion is quick: measure, steep, then strain. Use freshly boiled water and allow the leaves time to release flavor and soluble compounds.

• Measure 2 tablespoons of dried watercress leaves per 8–10 oz cup.
• Pour very hot water (just off boil) over the herbs and cover the cup or pot.
• Steep for about 15–20 minutes for a full-flavored infusion, then strain.
• Adjust strength by changing herb amount or steep time; serve hot or chilled.

What culinary uses work best with dried watercress?

Dried watercress can be rehydrated and used like fresh greens in many dishes to add a bright, peppery lift. It pairs well with soups, stews, sauces, and grain bowls when rehydrated or briefly simmered.

• Stir into broths and soups during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Soak briefly and toss into salads, pesto, or compound butters.
• Add to blended vegetable juices or smoothies for an herbal note.
• Mix with other loose-leaf herbs for signature tea blends.
