This brought back memories I didn’t even know I had of my mom making sun tea, thank you, I love this!
Going out right now to make some!!!! Thanks so much
Enjoy, muddle your herbs first to release more flavor
Great Idea
Thank you
That looks and sounds so refreshing Rachel. It looks so pretty in the jar.
It was!
I need to research these teas more. I have a girlfriend I’ve had for 50+ years. She makes potions and teas and they are really wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy Independence Day! 👏🏻💕🇺🇸
You should! Happy Independence Day as well friend!
A thought struck me when you mentioned/pointed out that the color did not change to suggest a diffision of essential ingredients didn't transpire. I recall I use a blender to liquify and a tea sieve to strain out the grinds. I've become so habituated at that I was scarcely conscious of it. It can boost the flavor/s (and pigments) to mechanically discharge the plant's cellular contents into the fluid solvent.
Thank you
I’m going to try this tomorrow!
Ok muddle your herbs first, I did that today and it had much more flavor
I always freeze some of the tea in ice cube trays and use those in the tea so they don’t dilute the flavor. Looks yummy.
Great idea!!
If you crush the leaves before putting in the water, you will get more flavor. ;)
We'll try that next time for sure!
BLESSINGS
I would love to make sun tea with herbs from my garden ✊🏾
Go get after it! You'll enjoy it.
So glad you posted this! I really need to take advantage of my herbs and huge honeysuckle. Are all types of lavender edible?
Yes
good
Thanks
WIll be making today with lavender, lemon balm, sage, mint, and do you think I can use bee balm??? What about adding a slice of lemon, lime and/or orange? Have you tried before? btw...my kombucha turned out awesome...thx for all you do/share/teach...Happy 4th of July!!
Go for it, I'm going to muddle my leaves first today to make sure they expel more flavor
@@1870s Will do same. Going out in garden now. Gonna be hot and humid in Missouri! Enjoy your day :0)
Where did you learn about herbal teas? Growing many different herbs this year and would love to know combinations with what I have available.
Really just the world wide web. I'm not much of a reader of books, but I also have Amy Fewell'sl Homestead Herbal Remedy book that's super informative. You can find on Amazon 😉 see our link in description.
Couldnt you break the leaves for the juices to come out into your tea?
Mrs. 1870's wouldn't have been better either to chop or pull all of the herbs apart to impart more of the flavors and benefits to the tea Ma'am??
I use my pickle packer from masontops to muddle the herbs in the jar before making the tea, but I have never thought to make sun tea instead of brewing with hot water! Thanks so much Ms. Rachael!!
True Heath. We're going to do that next time for sure.
