Honey Suckle is one of the most lovely things about approaching summertime in the South. The smell hits me when I walk outside.
It's an instant happy-maker!
Making tea from honeysuckle is one of the most wonderful things about this season. It is refreshing and cool, happy but calming. We couldn't make this first batch of the year without letting you see the process!
Enjoy! :)

I make a tea that I call Honeysuckle Romance. It has Honeysuckly flowers, Chamomile, rose petals, Lavender and vanilla. It is my favorite tea of all time.

Wow! That sounds absolutely delicious! I took a screen shot of your comment so I can try it out. Thanks!

I understand honeysuckle is an invasive species, but I don't understand why people hate it! I simply love the smell of its flowers in the Spring and early Summer! It is the best-smelling perfume I've ever smell! Now I'm gonna make me some honeysuckle tee this Spring! Thanks for a great idea!

Have you ever made honeysuckle jelly? I made it last year for the first time. It was a hit! This tea looks very refreshing!

I havent tried honeysuckle tea, but i do lots of infused waters thru the summer. watermelon/cucumber, strawbery/blackberry, lemon/mint, many mixtures. Good way to stay hydrated.

Think of all the millions of gallons of tea I could have had. Just finished ripping out 400’ feet of fenceline Honeysuckle. It was so tall and spread out so wide that it was consuming an acre of land. Now I’ve tilled and planted grass to fill up the bare area. Next year the Honeysuckle will start to grow again. It’s impossible to keep it away from that fence. The Honeysuckle was “tree sized” at the bases. So we had to rip the stumps out with a dozer. We saved the larger wood for burning in the fireplace this winter. Neighbors tell me that the wood is so dense that it will rival a good hardwood for BTUs.

Be careful with the leaves as they can be toxic at higher amounts. The flowers are fine

@HearthandDome 6 жыл бұрын

Most honeysuckle species are high in saponins. According to my research you'd have to ingest LOTS of tea from the leaves specifically to have negative repercussions. Most commonly this just includes mild tummy trouble like nausea. Honey Suckle tea has been used for centuries and IS a safe beverage. I recommend people do their own research though and use discretion. Thanks for bringing up such an important point! :)

Honeysuckle grows wild here in 7b all the way to the coast. I’m not sure about your zone. It grows so well here we don’t cultivate it at all. Honeysuckle is often growing wild on fence rows and can be smelt from pretty far off. Sorry I don’t have specific recommendations for you friend!
