Nothing gets me through my ever growing pile of admin like a cup of home made tea. My foray into the world of tea making started with the harvest of our mint plants. Having enjoyed fresh mint tea all summer with the remains of our mint crop were hanging in the kitchen, I had a realization. Tea doesn't have to be limited to your conventional herbs. There is no end to the possibility of team making and it's theraputic benefits.
So I ordered a range of different herbs for Woodland herbs and some tea bag cases to contain my concoctions. I've also been picking Lavender and Roses, foraging Rosehips and drying ginger pulp (left over from juicing). Once you eyes are open to the possibilities there are all sorts of delicious herbs and flowers that can be combined.
My favourites so far are:
Peppermint and Rose Petal- To re energize and refresh
Chamomile and Lavender - For a good night sleep
Rosemary and Sage- For PMS
Fennel and Aniseed- For digestion
Another idea...you could also give a collection of your home made teas bags to friends and family as Christmas presents. Give it a go and email me your recipes.
