I foraged Goldenrod after watching an online video. It’s dry now but I haven’t tried it yet. Did you ever try it?
Thank you for being so kind ❤
Love love love the taste of holy/sacred basil flowers steeped in cold water. Amazing with lemon and iced tea. Drank it alllllll summer long. Amazing smell and taste.
Yummmm!! That does sound amazing! 😍 Thanks for sharing. 💜💜
Inspired to start my herbal garden
I grow ginger and tumeric outside. They die back in winter here in Seattle, and they come back stronger in spring.
I forage for my teas as much as possible. Currently I can't grow anything where I live but that is changing in 2021. I purchased land. Can't wait. I agree raspberry leaf is one of my favourites. I get it from my daughter who grows it at home.
That's amazing, congrats!! Raspberries would be a great one to plant at your new place, they're low maintenance and come back every year. I can't wait for this gardening season!! 👩🌾🌱🌿
Send me some :)
I know im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Jordan Keith instablaster =)
@Brentley Ryland I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Lemongrass is very easy to grow and makes a fantastic tea!
All of these are such great herbs!
I also enjoy rosemary, sage, the anise Hyssops, bee balm, and cat mint!
For those who like the taste of green tea, Wood Betony leaves have been used as a caffeine-free substitute (a cousin of Lambs Ears!)
Fun factlet from a recent Charles Downing video, on his new herb garden at Homeacres - bees and other pollinators use pants in the mint family - mints, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano and others - for their own medicine!!
So growing a variety of herbs helps keep our pollinator healthy!
I live in Oregon, so one of my favorite sources for bulk herbs, essential oils, etc is Mountain Rose, founded by herbalist Rosemary Gladstar! Lots of special herbs like Chaparral that are harder to come by, and ethnically harvested!
I don’t get why this isn’t viral
Dear Evil: Probably, because they have coffee makers in the U.S.
teas have antiviral properties
Thanks for all the tips! 🌱💞 I planted raspberry (two kinds) this year just for tea, and berries too of course. ☺ My tea garden is almost finished!!!
You can try hibiscus, jasmine and marigold teas, they are just awesome 😊😊😊😊
Whereas I usually find mint tea not quite to my taste - I found one type of mint plant that is just wonderful.
'Korean Liquorice Mint' has a warm, satisfying, 'full' taste that I really don't get from most herbals in general.
I grew mine from seed I bought earlier this year (from a UK merchant. I'm sure someone will be selling it in America). It doesn't grow superfast in my wet Northern climate, but it did produce enough to use by late summer and has a lovely bright purple flower to boot.
I’m just starting to grow my own herbs for tea …the most surprising is raspberry leaf and thyme. I have grown thyme for years for culinary purpose, definitely will be trying it as a tea. Thank you, this was incredibly helpful 💕
Loved this video! I've been growing herbs for a long time! Nothing like a hot cup of tea from your garden
So true!! ☺️🍵
@@CultivatorKitchen L
I like sweet iced ginger tea to dress it up i sometimes add some raspberries and their juice
So helpful. Thank you!!
Really appreciate your great information. Thank you
Great information. Love your channel!
Hello interesting. I also have a plant called Rue. Very nice!. Good for health. 👌😀
Thankyou!. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy your Tea.
It is a kind of special fun to see those tea leaves and flowers up and down.
Thank you, I’m just getting into herb teas and I’m an avid gardener. My current daily tea is oregano, mint, ginger root, and turmeric (ground). I pour my cup and add a teaspoon of honey. Im really enjoying it and hope to gat some of those health benefits ✌️💕
Me too yay🎉
Too cold for Chamomile!?! it becomes just shy of a weed in Newfoundland Canada!
I've had Dandelion flower tea. it was nice. I like the dandelion leaf greens (just remove the center rib)
Currently I grow:
Chamomile
Lemon Balm
Thyme
Raspberry
Echinacea
Chamomile
Lavender
I'm trying to grow ginger. I have to find the place to put it for the right atmosphere.
Nettle, clover and dandelion are wild
Mint and fennel were already on my radar. I used to have bronze fennel. That's delicious! When I tried to grow it again, I wasn't successful.
Now I will look into growing turmeric and Verbena.
Such wonderful info! Thank u! Thank u! I’ve got to start growing raspberries!
Wonderful🎉🎉🎉Thankyou. Enjoy and Good Health. 🎉🎉
Great video thank you
Ginger root tumeric root and blackberry as an infusion is a lovely flavor and elderberry syrup is a beautiful sweetner for it its good hot or cold in my opinion
Thank you. 😊
I just started my herbs from seed , hopefully I will have an amazing garden for teas 🌱

Amazing as always! Thanks for sharing~!

I love tea
Im encouraged to start my tea garden
I love the oregano, thyme and basil, I grow these in more in my yard. Thanks for the info and have a nice night.
I like nettle and raspberry leaf tea for a daily tea
I’ve just started my herb garden so I’m new at it. But thank you for your tips and info. I’m glad I found your channel. Can’t wait to be able to make my own herbal tea for healthy benefits.
Thank you for the video!
I love tulsi (holy basil) tea! Plan to grow this year.
❤❤❤❤ love this video.
Thank you so much!! 💃
thank you for this. I'm currently growing about half of what you mentioned, so will have to see if I can find room in my tiny little courtyard to grow a few more.
Thanks! I am building my suburban garden/food forest and I am so excited to grow things for herbal tea.
Loved this video, I love Chamomile tea and just yesterday planted some seed in a container, I'm hoping it grows and then I can harvest and dry and make fresh tea 😋😍💞
I share my mint and black raspberry and BlackBerry leaf yeas with friends and neighbors.
This is my new fav channel! Thank you so much for all the info you shared ❤
Thank you sooo much!! This is so good to hear! 🥰❤️❤️
This year I started with Lemon Balm and Spearmint. I think I will add Ginger Root, Echinacea and Chamomile next year. ❤ 😊
That's amazing!! 🤩 They all sound delicious!
i didn't know red clover made for good tea, so i'm definitely going to gather some, i just saw loads on my walk today!
Awesome - I love your vids especially the ones herb 🌿 related 🙂I grow peppermint thyme oregano rosemary lavender
Thank you so much!! 💖 Your garden sounds awesome! 🤓🌱🌿
Great video, subscribed
You are very kind and a wise woman 😇, May God Bless you 🙏and keep up the good work helping those who want/ need to be healthy 🙏👍😇- Amen/ Middletown Delaware 😇
Basswood flowers help with constipation, malva also. Rosemary clears the liver & sage clears the intestine.
When I made Homesteaders Honey I used Red & White Clover with Fireweed so very good.
I subbed! Xoxo from the Netherlands.
So glad i found this video can't wait to check out your other videos. I have loved foraging for years&my passion is herbal remedies. I love edible flowers&want to grow all the herbs possible for tea. I have been working on getting better at making soap&salves. And now have found my true passion is growing, harvesting, drying, storing&preparing all the herbs i can for tea. I love making bath teas as well but it's truly something special to create & craft& share& gift tea to drink- it's very healing& gets me through the winter. I am passing the practice&knowledge of plants onto my little ones & they also enjoy the whole process. We love making &enjoying all things possible with the wonderful herbs like lavender lemonade too. I am really wanting to learn more&get more plants for tea but for now my favorite to grow & utilize is bee balm it gets us through all the ailments as well as hyssop esp. For the littles. We grew tons of chamomile&lavender &still have some left to enjoy. Always rosemary, thyme, marjoram, oregano,& rose, & horsetail we have on stock. Lemon balm is another favorite & go to for my anxiety. I utilize the cat mint, spearmint, & calendula, and chasteberry! Also i grow yerba mansa as a house plant so you gave me the idea to try to grow other herbs indoors like ginger! I just found 3 varieties of agastache at a nursery & planted them they taste amazing so can not wait for spring. I need to utilize our blackberry leaves&raspberry leaves too i have a tiny bit but not much. Also red bud&all the edible blooms. Borage is coming back. We grew a too of basil's so still have some on stock except for Tulsi we went through that. I'm sure there's more I'm missing but i want to go check out your other videos. Thank you!
That's amazing!! 🤩 You have a wonderful garden, and sounds like you have a great selection you can make into teas & tea blends! I'm hoping to add borage this year too. 🥰❤️❤️
I have some black berry and Raspberry right now. I have been drinking the blackberry tea, but I am in my first really good year of red Raspberries so I am leaving those to spread this year. But now I will have to try some others you mentioned.
Nice, need to try to forage for some clover and others this year, since I don't have a garden. I would also add Jasmine to this, I love green tea with jasmine! You should try it :)
Sage tea ☕☕☕is my favorite at present. Enjoyed this immensely!! Thanks for the great info!
Ooooh that's a good one!! 🤓
This is exactly why I drink traditional medicinals as well!
I love chamomille
Nutmeg half a teaspoon for diabetes and depression. Takes 10 days to start to work.
Chamomile and mint are my most used from my garden.
Those are two of the best!! 😊🌱
great video I will follow although i would like more images and notes while explaining thanks
Lionsmane chaga chickory root blend is my coffee replacer tea has a similar flavor and all good benefits
how bout honeysuckle?
Thank you for the informative video! Can the flowers and leaves of these plants be used fresh and dried in teas?
I kept waiting for you to say basil... Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm talked about it and I'm curious. Have you tried it?
I am stoked about trying some of these. I have sown lots of herb seeds. Fingers 🤞
That's a great suggestion!! I'm not sure how I feel about basil in tea, but I'll try it. 🤔
It seemed liked it was an cold drink thing? I need to watch again.
I drink coriander seeds tea😍 u should try that,it's also good for this covid season. Search srilankan coriander tea 😊
can the leaves of japanes wineberry bushes be used for teas?
I made some dandelion tea by boiling fresh flowers and letting them steep overnight, but it tasted like grass and I didn't like it at all. Did I perhaps do it wrong? I would like to try again and try to ake something that is actually palatable...
Chamomile is my favorite herbal tea! I can't grow any where I live, but I hope some day!
It's on of my faves too!! I hope you can grow it one day! 😊🌱
Do these herbs only grow for the summer/spring? Are there any that can be grown during the winter and fall season?
5 how do I find the plants in regular things to make my own herbal fresh tees
thought you would show me how to make teas never made tea just would buy my sleepy time teas or energy teas like oolong tea
Does it have to be black berry
Okay I just noticed last a flower at the bottom of my plum tree it's yellow pedals with red tipped centers and and just yesterday found a flower with same leaves cone flower but it has purple star bells. Will dry some of the flowers and leaves before it dies back. And in my garden a bright yellow flower I thought it might be wild mustard but not sure.
What does the leaves look like on fennel plants? I'm not sure what to harvest.
The fronds, seeds, stalks, or bulbs
Do you dehydrate those leaves? Or just let them dry on their own? Judi.
I grow thornless black berry so much easier too deal with then thorn BlackBerry cause I'm allergic too the thorns. I started with plant and now have one area filled. And can you use elderberry leaves too for teas. I haven't heard anyone talking about it.
Hi ! I love your video and i am am a horticulturalist and herbalist by trade making many herbal teas in compostable packaging! I just thought id say hey and incase you anted to know about another company dedicated to compostable packaging and organic herbal teas!
I think I'm allergic to echinacea is it supposed to make your throat scratchy and burn ?!
I would love Traditional Medicinals, but they add licorice to almost all of their teas, and it’s bad for high bp. 😔. Thanks for the ideas to make my own!
Ginger Root turmeric lemon verbena lemon balm mint thyme fennel raspberry leaf blackberry leaf echinacea nettle red clover chamomile lavender roses dandelion
Does it mater what time of year you harvest raspberry leaves? My wife is a tea drinker and we are trying a bunch of stuff from our yard. Don't do peach tree leaves! Nasty haha. Wife said she saw someone use it so we tried it bad idea. I just dehydrated 4 qt of chamomile that one is good my wife loves it. We have raspberry plants also but they are to new to cut leaves yet.
You can harvest them anytime, but the best is in spring when the leaves are young. 🌱
What about 🌺 Hibiscus?
Oooh that's a tasty one!! Great idea 🌺
Are you in Australia 🇦🇺 if so what state please
for some reason i thought ginger took like 15 years to cultivate. so question: does mint, spearmint, lemon balm, chamomile, lavender come back after their season? i live bordering zone 9b-10a and this is my first year growing a tea garden in a couple small beds
Hi there! I dont know about spearmint and chamomile, but mint, lemon balm and lavender should. I live in an zone 8 and mine have been coming back like crazy these past years (mint is actually kinda taking over ^^)
There are annual and perennial varieties of chamomile -- it just depends which you get.
Stinging nettles can be made in to a tea?
Yes, once dried they are a great tea! Just harvest them carefully with gloves. 🧤
All of are bee balm grows in the fields were I pick it
Thank you, Is that actually leaves from raspberry plants? Or is it a special type of something or rather lol. :)
It's the leaves from regular raspberry plants!! Makes an amazing tea! 😋
@@CultivatorKitchen i cant imagine they taste like raspberries though
Dandelion! My hubby sprays them. 😞
Turmeric latte😮
what is the strongest tasting single tea ?
am looking for a coffee substitute with powerful taste i heard that black tea is the stongest
Toasted dandelion root is a good sub for coffee. Was actually used as a substitute during civil war scarcity
I don't drink coffee but I've heard dandelion root is a good substitute!!
I would like to share my butterfly pea flowers with you for tea. Let me know if you’re interested.
Can you grow them inside also ?
What zone are you in?
Zone 5b 😊
All thanks to Dr emuakhe for CURING from polycystic kidney deases am forever grateful sir.
I LOVE the flavor of dandelion root tea, but...I'm allergic to ragweed, and apparently the dandelion root is related. I always break out in hives. I'm sorry to say it took me WAY too long to realize the connection. Sad face right here.
I tried growing herbs for tea last year. Then my calendula got attacked by thousands of bugs and I was grossed out by it. I won’t be drinking any of that lol
You forgot to mention what they help you with

Do you drink your tea with caffeine or without caffeine?
These all have no caffeine! That's one of the reasons I love herbal tea 🍵💖
I worry about pesticides.. do you forage far away from people? especially dandelions.
That's definitely an important concern!! I only forage in my yard which has never been sprayed, or my family's farm, for that very reason.
Living with the stigma of HSV 1 and 2 and not been able to have a healthy relationship was messing up my life until I got some super herbs from Dr Emuakhe, I haven't had symptoms for some while now and planning to get another test done. Am grateful and advise you help yourself also.
i luv u
