Maybe this should be in drinks forum?
Anyway my hubby likes herbal teas (infusions) so this year I decided to put all those mostly decorative plants to use! I have started drying the edible leaves and flowers to make herbal tea mixtures, but I am not sure which ones will make a good mixture when I put them together. Any ideas?
What I have to choose from is:
mint
thyme
rosemary
lemon verveine
lemon balm
sage (leaves and flowers)
camomile
strawberry leaves
pot marigold petals
roses
clover flowers
poppy petals
And I might be able to scrounge some fennel I think.
I was thinking making a digestive tea with mint, a little green tea and fennel but what about the other ingredients. I could also add ginger and citrus peels.
Was also thinking of a mixture of rosemary, verveine, marigold and a little lemon peel. The flowers in general are more for looks!!!
