How to Brew Fresh Artichoke Tea

Cut off the long stems of the artichoke, wash them thoroughly. Wash the pineapple leaves and roll them into a bundle.

Put artichoke buds and pineapple leaves in a pot, pour about 3 – 4 liters of cold water, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until the artichoke buds are tender and all the sweetness has been released.
