Tea Garden

I have been drying mint, lemon balm, chamomile, and lemon verbena like crazy! I made a cold tea out of green tea, lemon balm, lemon mint, lemon verbena, and stevia and it is SO GOOD!

Excellent! I planted a tea garden, that I was very excited about. Still going strong- but I haven't actually made any tea yet! Follow through is not my strong suit! Glad you are enjoying yours!

I just got done drying the second round of Chamomile and also did some Italian large basil and Spanish lavender. My dehydrator has been on constantly!

Now I'm thirst for some tea. Maybe after the chicken garden I will build a tea garden.

what a wonderful idea. i had some pineapple sage growing and the blossoms were gorgeous. if you let them blossom, you can dry them and they work kind of like safffron - that is to say, they impart a gentle color and slight floral back note. i used it for some risotos. good luck.
