NATURAL THERAPY

Most of my weblog entries come upward close because at that topographic point is either something I don't desire to remember about, or something else I am avoiding doing.  This is truthful 1 time to a greater extent than on both counts today.  So today nosotros brand tea! 

First upward is a tea made from a walk inward the yard.  There are several good, tasty options out at that topographic point correct now.  Some I didn't select would hold upward nettles, sage, mint, in addition to pino or fir tips.  I had a plan, see?
The leaves of raspberry in addition to huckleberry made a tasty infusion, in addition to thence I wanted to base of operations the blend on them.  Here nosotros go...

First halt was the row of dark raspberries.  They're starting to shape tiny berries.  They must possess got blossomed final calendar week when nosotros were busy amongst other things. 

 

Then the *just* opened-this-very-day-for-the-first-time elderberry blossoms grabbed me firmly past times the olfactory organ in addition to dragged me over their agency to select 1 perfect umbel.

I made my agency to the lemon balm in addition to picked a few sprigs.  You may non encounter that area, though.  It's difficult to notice the lemon balm through the weeds.  Beside that, at that topographic point were beautiful leaves from dark currant in addition to gooseberry.

On the far terminate of the yard, the lush in addition to succulent huckleberry leaves called.

Headed towards the door, I grabbed 2 lilliputian sprigs of anise hyssop.

 All of it went into the French press.

While it steeped, I seat some lemon in addition to blueberries into a quart stonemason jar.

In the meantime, I chopped the residue of the lemon in addition to seat it into the big gallon fridge jar, in addition to seat to a greater extent than H2O on to heat. 

 A muslin pocketbook was filled loosely amongst some flavored light-green tea.  We've been making gallons of tea a twosome times a calendar week this spring, in addition to it is in addition to thence dainty to possess got it handy in addition to cold.

So here's the verdict.
The Backyard Berry Tea was overtaken past times the anise hyssop, but inward a really pleasant way.  It volition educate overnight inward the fridge, in addition to tomorrow Molly volition honey it!

Now I possess got to notice something else to occupy my mind...
