Just curious if anyone makes their own tea? I am currently drying blueberry leaves and blueberries for tea. I'm just kinda wingin' it using a few sources I found on the internet.
I've dried mint and a couple other herbs for tea. The mint was good.
What I really want to try this summer is fruit teas. This could be one more thing I won't have to purchase - if I can get it right.
Anyone have any tips or recipes/blends they can share for drying and making tea?

I haven't dried anything for tea yet, but its on my list of things to try. I want to start with some cammomile. It grows wild all over around here, and I need to take an hour and go gather some up and dehydrate some.
I also want to dry some rose hips. We also have lots of the rose bushes and I would like to dry the fruits for tea, I hear they are an excellent source of vitamin c.
The third thing I want to try is raspberry leaves. I have heard that they are good for an upset stomach.

I have one quart dried blueberries and another of dried blueberry leaves for tea making. I haven't tried it yet. I want to try peach, too. |

My favorite tea is sweet red clover, lavender & stevia ... all that grow & harvest here.

I like lemon balm, lavender, and clover. If I have a bit of a tummy ache, I'll add ginger.

I'm drying lavender and red raspberry leaves. I always seem to forget to dry some nettles until it's too late. I wonder if it's too late now...
