I like lemonade, I’m not much of a tea drinker. When my daughter got married years ago, I made regular lemonade, a raspberry lemonade and a lavender lemonade. They were a hit, and I’m thinking for me, herbal lemonades would be something I would enjoy. Shalom.

I'm ordering 10 lbs of lemons, blood orange and grapefruit from Azure this month. I cannot wait to make all types of herbal citrus fizzy drinks! And now you just reminded me that I need to find some red raspberry plants - so thank you! All my blackberry plants took over the red raspberries...)

I've foraged, grown, and bought herbs since about 1971. I have a nice little apothecary. We used to buy a commercial brand of "stress tea", which is no longer stocked in local markets. I developed my own blend. Decaffeinated green tea, lavender, and chamomile. It's the blend my fella will drink. I always have a pitcher chilling in the fridge.

Funny, I would do the same. I have a mystery dehydrated herb. I'm almost sure it is cilantro, and it's a mystery because the I lost the little paper that was in the drying rack when I dried it. I think I will put it in the chicken feed, but need to make sure it won't hurt them first. Otherwise compost time.

If you haven't tried Sweet Woodruff, you HAVE TO! I thought I had 2 patches of Cleavers (sticky weed) and to my surprise, one patch was not "sticky". Turns out it's Sweet Woodruff. We were drinking some of my spring tonics (fizzy soda type) and we couldn't figure out the cinnamon taste when I didn't add any. Well, it was the Sweet Woodruff! So good!! (btw....I'm not writing down what I put in each so of course the guys say "Make this kind again"....and ha....no clue which is which. smh) My borage seeds that I got from you are doing great and can't wait to try it. Chinese peppers are finally able to hang out outside....warm weather here FINALLY! This is an EXCELLENT video - above and beyond because I'm in the process of making all these fizzy drinks. And now I just realized it's Friday....See you Monday my friend!! God bless and have a wonderful weekend!!

I use a blend of licorice, ginger,and use peppermint essential oil,1 drop or 2 added when I have a stomachache. The peppermint oil is food grade. I also like marshmellow leaves. I also drink the dandeloin tea and hibiscus teas. Mostly if I have a stomachache or in the winter to stay warm. I made some chamomile tea from fresh leaves the other day. I add my raw honey to all teas for a bit of sweetness.

@mjrewerts Ай бұрын

God bless you too, Heidi ❤️. Since subscribing to your channel, I’ve been foraging, dehydrating, adding to my herb garden and drinking lots of herbal teas. I like to use certain herbs as bases (stinging nettle, red and white clover, mullein, Passion flower, catnip, etc.) and then add my flavorful herbs like wild chamomile (pineapple weed), mints, thymes, lemon balm, etc. and homegrown stevia or local raw honey to sweeten. I’ll also add citrus peels, pine needles and dried berries. One of my favorites is stinging nettle with lemon thyme and stevia. 😋
