    One compound was particularly effective, sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), which was used for “intermittent fevers,” a hallmark of malaria.

    Relatively easy to find herb. I have some in my tea cabinet, turns out I’ve been ruining it all along.

        Follow up: cold steeped version is slightly more bitter, but not bad flavor. I seem to still not have malaria. 10/10.

        Like not much, really. Slightly bitter as a tea, but not much more than slight vegetal and very slight bitterness. I usually just add a bit with other stuff.
