Sage tea is one of the most effective teas for menopause, though it’s not a common tea you might find in the grocery store. To make sage tea, you will want to steep 1-2 tsp of dried or fresh sage leaves in warm water. Do not steep it in hot water, or you may lose many of its beneficial properties. Cover it while steeping to help keep the heat and oils in. Steep for 10-15 minutes. Drink 1-2 cups in the morning. To help stop hot flashes and night sweats, drink another cup 1-2 hours before bed.
