I used some fresh sage leaves from the garden, which I dried for a couple of days by room temperature. You can also dry sage in the oven, or simply use a sage tea bag. Regarding black tea, I’d recommend using any tea you like. Darjeeling, gunpowder, or earl grey can taste delicious. I added some white rock sugar for some sweetness.
