This is a tea blend I always have on hand:
including (clockwise) :
starting at the bottom
3 parts mint,
1 part oatstraw,
2 parts nettle,
1 part calendula,
and 1 part raspberry leaf.
they all have their purposes. It is a very healthful tea.
Chamomile is also nice for flavor as well as health.
this jar is on the stove for easy access.
then throw a couple tsp.'s of tea into the brewt
- one of the best tea making systems in the whole world.
The tea and hot water go in the top compartment.
then the brewed tea strains through a nylon filter
and pours out the bottom right into your mug!
attie reads the bug book to me while I fiddle about the kitchen making tea.
There's usually some left over-or more made for iced tea...
In a jar in the fridge with a bit of agave nectar (my new sweet love)

I have rasberries, eat the berries but I have wasted the leaves. Thank you, Lavada (kyknitwit@gmail.com)
oooh yes, drink the leaf tea!
its loaded with vitamins (vitamin A, B, C and E, potassium, phosphorus and calcium) and good for the immune system. as well as being good for the menstrual time. and- more well known - tones the uterus before and after birth. also said to enrich breast milk.
