About & Traditional Use

Horsetail, known in Spanish as cola de caballo, is a slender green botanical with a fresh, grassy aroma and a mild, clean flavor. Carefully dried and cleaned, the cut herb is ready to steep into a light, refreshing infusion.

Cola de caballo has long been a familiar traditional botanical, most often enjoyed as a simple hot-water infusion on its own or blended with other dried herbs for a fresh, green cup.

How to Use

To brew an infusion, add about 1 teaspoon of dried horsetail to a cup of freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then strain. Adjust the steeping time to reach the strength you prefer.

Horsetail blends well with mint, lemongrass, or a slice of lemon, and a touch of honey rounds out its fresh, grassy character.

Recipes

Classic Horsetail Infusion: Steep 1 teaspoon of dried herb in hot water for 8 minutes, strain, and sweeten with honey if desired.

Mint & Horsetail Blend: Combine horsetail with dried mint leaves, steep together, and serve warm or over ice.

Lemon-Green Cup: Steep horsetail with lemongrass and finish with a squeeze of lemon.
