March 26th-Tea/Herbs

Had a great day yesterday and really enjoyed blogging on a few things I did or am doing but for the life of me, could not come up with idea on what to post about for my march challange as it needs to be something out of the pantry, and today as I made myself a cuppa tea, it hit me.. Tea, Dried Plants aka Herbs

I like Tea, I used to be a big coffee drinker, these days the only time a pot of fench press coffee gets made in my house is when my dear momma comes to visit, she is a big coffee drinker, and I find myself having a cup or two and then having to wean myself off after she leaves.  I do use it now an again as a hair rinse, plus as a natural dye or stain. Have a few friends that I always seem to have a cup when out with them but otherwise, I drink tea

My favorite kinds are herbal, I like Red Tea or Rooboo alot! but my staples are mint tea, Rasberries, cranberry, lemon balm, and lemongrass. I like them with a bit of my homegrown stevia in the mix for a natural sweeter, or with a drop of honey in them, and if I am really in the mood for campfire tea or coffee.. its a triple, triple on the sweet and milk.

You can pick and dry your strawberry, rasberry, and blackberry leaves to add in homemade tea. With Spring right around the corner, I will be making and drinking fresh nettle tea, among a number of others.

Do you make or use herbal tea? If so, what is the one plant you would not want to be without, for me, that would be mint or more like Mints.. Chocolate Mint, Lemon Mint, Lime Mint, OOo the wonderful amazing different kinds of mint available these days is just heavenly.

Breakfast -Leftover Mashed, a bit of leftover roast with scrambled eggs

Lunch-Hambugers and fresh buns with homemade mayo, green relish and a bit of cheese.

Supper-Pasta with sauce, tiny bit of diced leftover roast, onion and a grating of hard cheese.

Extra’s -Chocolate Chip Cookies-You can tell that DH made these, they are Loaded! with chocolate and made huge.. FG would have used half the chocolate and made double the number of cookies with the same amount of dough, but they are yummy.

Drinks-Water, Tea and Hot Chocolate.

    I agree with you. Mint is really easy to grow and makes great tea. When I make it with fresh mint, I make it in a big glass teapot, because I really like the fresh green colour. I haven’t tried to make tea from much else in the garden except nettles. According to my midwife neighbour.Raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be good for inducing/easing labour.
