Re: Herbal Teas 

I usually make my own infusion with garden herbs if they are available, my best is dried lavendar and dried chamomile about 1 tsp of each to a pot - no actual TEA at all. But I use a 'teaball' so i dont have to drink the leaves...

Theres nothing better than a herbal infusion made with fresh herbs, but the next best thing is drying your own herbs, we make all our teas using mostly locally sourced herbs from small herb farmers, and it makes a real difference.

Lavendar & Chamomile is a great blend, and very relaxing.

Re: Herbal Teas 

I love chamomile on it's own. However, Lavendar... uhm.... BLEG! on it's own it's really really bitter and wild... then again, I probably made it too strong which is a bit dangerous. But it is VERY potent, that I have to say. And somehow I don't mind bitter herbs or bitter tea - I actually prefer bitter over sweet. It's just lavendar that's... erm... it REALLY gets me!

Re: Herbal Teas 

I don't have allergies or any strange things but as soon as you light golden flora insence by troat starts to croak,  I guess I would like to say that we all are different.  I however love minty stuff and my husband make a mixture with mints, ginseng, gingko and hibiscus that I drink almost every morning.
