Mullein leaf is a very popular herbal remedy, and is most often found in natural cough and cold compounds. Herbalists also make a tincture of mullein flower which is said to be effective in fighting ear infections.

Mullein Leaf – A Remedy With A History
Most people in the United States and Canada have probably seen the mullein plant growing in the wild. It is normally somewhere between two and six feet tall, and consists of a single spike that is covered in densely packed yellow flowers at the top. The spike ascends from a cluster of thick, velvety leaves that are arranged in a spiral pattern from the earth up.
The mullein leaf herb was highly prized in Europe, and was brought to the North American continent by the first European immigrants. They cultivated it in their gardens and used it for everything from a soothing tea to a dried compound for smoking.

Mullein Leaf Tea
Mullein leaf tea is available commercially. If you have a pure source for mullein leaf herb, you can easily brew your own tea. Chop the mullein leaf and let it dry. The smallest, thinnest leaves will dry more quickly than the thick, larger leaves from the bottom of the plant. Use a little handful, and pour about ten ounces of boiling water over it. Let it steep for a few minutes, then strain it. 
Mullein leaf herb makes a bitter tea, so sweeten it with a little honey or some stevia if the medicinal flavor is too harsh. Never use artificial sweeteners!
