Perfect timing. I saw your other video on planting up your herbs and was inspired by how you used many of them for teas. I was going to ask in that video for more information on how to make the teas and voila, now its here. 🙂Thank you so much.
I’m glad this was helpful!! It’s my favorite thing to do with my herbs.
great tips for tea time in the garden, thank you!
Un buen te
I had the same thoughts about buying a dehydrator also. I prefer to naturally hang & dry my flowers & herbs. However I finally convinced myself to purchase one. The best thing I ever purchased. I use it alot more than I thought I would. There's so many things that you can't naturally dry on their own.
Definitely a game changer!
You might have just convinced me to get one 😆 Which one do you have and do you like it?
Loved learning how you use your teas. I bought oregano, rosemary, chocolate mint, Stevie. Started German Chamimile. Just planed garlic chives, have regular chives and thyme already growing and lavender. Planted lots of calendula. Suppose to have pink flowers. I drink coffee in the morning with chocolate protein added. I am 84, have CFS but a passion for gardening. That and my dog Rosie keeps me going. I have been watching some of The Cottage Peach and sometimes MIgardener. Do you have favorites to watch? Would love more on tea blends. Nancy
Your garden sounds amazing!! I’ll definitely share more of my tea recipes. I watch garden answer, impatient gardener, and growformegardening the most!
I love growing chamomile!
I am thinking I need to drink more tea from fresh herbs 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
You will become obsessed!!
I'm "so in Love" : )
Excellent, I do dandelion tea from the yard. Have a great weekend
Dandelion tea!! I’ll have to try that.
@@ChicagoGardener it is really good
Do you just use the petals from the dandelions or other parts of the plant?
I'm growing my herbs for teas as well, so I was excited to see this video. The strawberry mint & perhaps the chocolate mint as a blend? Kind of like a chocolate covered strawberry. Idk if the chocolate mint would over power. I love the recipe book idea. So cute! Your garden is lovely and the tiered herbs are coming along quite nicely. 💖
Omg yes, I definitely need to try that combo!!
I needed this video. My local nursery had the pineapple sage, which smells like heaven, but I couldn’t think of how I would actually use it. Problem solved!
It’s soooo good!!
Thank you for sharing your process on making teas. If you do decide to go the dehydrator route I would suggest the purposeful pantry on UA-cam. She has lots of information on learning to use a dehydrator. I just used mine to dehydrate Za’atar oregano from Baker Creek. I also dehydrate lemon slices when they’re in season to use my tea all year long.
This is so helpful, thank you!! I definitely want to dehydrate lemons now
I actually ordered some of the mints you mentioned after the last video where you shared ordering some. I do have a question, do you notice mints sometimes get white flies? If that occurs, I don’t want to spray anything on them since I’m going to be using them for tea and cooking.
I have and usually I’ll blast them with water a few days in a row and that clears them up!
You are so talented. How did you learn to do all these things? I definitely want to try growing my own herbs now.
Mostly Google and UA-cam videos! And of course trial and error 😂
Your recipe notebook is too cute. I love this topic and would really love to learn more about tea herbs. Please keep sharing your tea journey, maybe an updated favorite recipes in the future. ❤❤
That’s such a good idea, I definitely will!
Love watching your chanel.
Thank you so much!
I have the same herb rack (three of them)! Love it!
I want to get more but it’s been sold out on the site!
you do not add a sweetener of any kind?
I don’t! I used to put sugar in my tea but over the years used less and less and now I like the flavor on its own
