❓ FAQs
What does astragalus taste like? Mildly sweet with earthy, nutty notes that blend well in soups, teas, and broths.
Slices vs. cut & sifted — which should I choose? Slices are perfect for long decoctions and broths. Cut & sifted is convenient for tea filters or quick blends with smaller particles.
How long should I simmer it? A gentle 20–30 minute simmer is common for a rich, round cup. Adjust time and leaf-to-water ratio to taste.
Can I combine it with other herbs? Yes. It pairs well with American ginseng for a smooth, rounded profile and with our cut & sifted astragalus for faster extraction in blends.
