- Using scissors, snip approximately ¼ cup of fresh pineapple weed flowers and foliage, then give them a quick rinse.

Notes
- Avoid sick plants or those covered with aphids and ants.
- Crush the flowers and leaves with a mortar and pestle to release even more flavor (optional).
- If you prefer iced tea, strain the brewed tea into a jar and refrigerate until you're ready to have some.
- This tea is pleasantly sweet, which means you may not need to add sugar or other sweeteners.
- I like to freeze and freeze dry this plant when it's in season so that it can be enjoyed throughout the year!
