Does anyone have a recipe or suggestion for a potent feverfew metheglyn? (By potent I mean having a lot of feverfew, so that a shot glass will be enough!)

from here: http://www.naturalherbsguide.com/feverfew.html. So, for a gallon of feverfew tea you'd need about 16-20 teaspoons of dried leaves.To make feverfew tea, place one teaspoon of the dried leaves in 5 to 8 ounces of water. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain the leaves from the tea. Drink as much tea as preferred. The tea can also be applied to the skin to work as an insect repellent.

Please review the medical literature regarding your herb of choice and possible drug interactions. Some of them have pretty severe effects to the point of nullifying the prescription drugs effect. Granted the studies are limited to the population under investigation and the herb and drug doses, but still worth the read.
Please do your homework on the herb and be aware of who might be consuming your mead made with the herb in question.
