        I want to make a tea with these 5 herbs but am not really sure on how to portion them:

        red clover

        milky oats

        oat straw

        nettle

        peppermint (flavor and benefit)

        Any ratio suggestions?

          Milky oats and oat straw are different names for the same herb.

          Otherwise on a formula with only a few herbs like that, I’d just do one part of each.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

            Usually there’s one herb I consider the flavoring element (peppermint, ginger licorice, etc.) in addition to its medicinal properties.  Then just increase that one herb if less appealing flavors are too strong in an equal parts blend.  With those choices I think you’ll have a really good tea!
