FRENCH CHERRY STALK/STEM HERBAL TEA - TISANE - INFUSION
A simple recipe/method, which my very elderly French neighbour gave to me when I lived in the Poitou region of France - she had about a dozen cherry trees. The French drink this herbal "Tisane" regularly, especially ladies who diet, as the cherry stalk is known to help elimination and reduce water retention! The cherry stalks/stems contain potassium, salts and tannin, and it is known as a powerful diuretic. It is also used for preventing urinary tract infections. It is drunk by steeping the cherry stems in boiling water, and can be drunk hot or cold - with or without sugar. It has a fruity-woody flavour, and is a very refreshing drink.

Steps:
- This is a very pleasurable and easy method, whilst you are enjoying your fresh cherries, simply discard the stems/stalks and keep to one side!
- Spread out on a drying rack - or on some newspaper in a dark, dry & airy room - cover if necessary, and allow to dry naturally for about 4 days to one week.
- Store the dried cherry stems/stalks in an airtight jar or container.
- When you wish to make a batch of tisane up, take a large handful of cherry stems/stalks & add to 1/2 litre boiling water; Boil for about 5 minutes and then turn the heat off and allow to steep for about 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain well, and either drink the tisane cold or reheat and add sugar if desired.
- Makes about 100g to 150g of cherry stalk infusion.

CHERRY STEM INFUSION OR TEA
Cherry stems make an enjoyable infusion, so save the stems! In France, this infusion is often taken for its detox/diuretic properties. Make a good amount of the dried cherry stems at one time, then make small amounts of tea from this when you want.

Steps:
- When you pit cherries, put the cherries in a bowl, and put the stems aside on some newspaper.
- Dry the stems on the newspaper for several days in normal heat, until dry.
- For this recipe, I gave the figure of 8 ounces, but that is arbitrary. '80 stems' is also arbitrary. I couldn't continue with the recipe any other way according to the given formats. Any amount can be done.
- To make a reasonable amount of tea, take a small handful of cherry stems and boil them in a small saucepan of water, about 1 liter, or 2 pints. Let it all boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to infuse for 10 minutes or so. You will get almost 5 teacups per liter.
- Drink 3 cups a day, at intervals away from the meal, to promote elimination.
