great work 🌹🌹🍒🍒🍓🍓
Thank you so much. I have been an herbalist since 2015 although I learn new information everyday. I have red sage and I didn't know that it is good for coughing.
❤❤❤
thanks for the inspiraction. I think I want to try doing some blends from my garden too
I'm glad to hear it, and you definitely should give it a try!
Thanks for sharing- question- do you grow and use chamomile? How about licorice mint? These are wonderful and are now staples in my herb pantry along with holy basil which I grew successfully finally this year.
Yes, we do grow and use chamomile, it's one of my absolute favorites. We also grow Giant hyssop (licorice mint). I think the hyssop was used in this video, but I'd have to double-check my recipe blends list. And I couldn't agree more, Holy basil is wonderful!
This tea series has been so helpful for me! I’ve been growing herbs with no idea what to do with them and I’m excited to get started. My biggest complaint as I’ve crossed over 30 is that I wake up so stiff and achey. Or if I’ve been sitting/standing for a long time once I move I feel like my body is having a hard time catching up. I drink a ton of water and early arthritis runs in my family.. excited to make me some achey tea ❤ thanks Natasha 🤗
You are so very welcome! I'm happy to be able to help in any way! 🫶🏻
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hello Miss Natasha. I spend the first minutes wondering if you would add sweetener. Sweet tea is my preference. 😅 Sweet tea isnt commonl in Minnesota.
Fun video to watch. Have a glorious day!

Oh yes, I'm a sweet tea girl! Occasionally I'll even through a a few teaspoons of my 'sweet cream' coffee creamer into homemade tea and Seth will give me the side eye! 😂 The only tea I've ever been able to drink without sweetener is chamomile but I have to be in a mood to drink it without SOMETHING. I hope your week is absolutely wonderful 🫶🏻
@@littlehomesteadontheprairie I grow stevia and add the leaves in when steeping my tea.
@@beckymartinez9926 Logical. Are you from the south? Why do you enjoy sweet tea?
@@littlehomesteadontheprairie Yes I am from Texas. MY question is why would you not want your tea sweet especially at zero calories?
I try to keep sugar out of my diet. I drink teas of various herbs. Some are not so tasty but are beneficial to drink. Growing stevia is the perfect solution for me.
Once again, thank you for this series! I am wondering if you have book/books recommendations for herbs and tea making. I love having a resource to refer back to. Love the blends!
Sorry this took so long to respond to, I was looking back through my notes from the herbal academy to see what references they list. In truth, 75% of my research comes from the coursework they provide and the other 25% comes from published articles. The National Institute of Health, The International Journal of Herbal Medicine, and JScholar are great sources.
Thank you!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Our family loves tea and would rather drink tea versas taking another pill. I feel tired/fatiqued all the time. Is there a tea that could help with that? As always, love your video!
You are so very welcome! If you can handle the heat, I will add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne into around 4 oz of water and I always feel more energetic afterward! But tea-wise, I would lean into Holy Basil and Lemon Balm (lemon balm is in the mint family which is known to help with energy levels, and holy basil has adaptogenic properties) 🫶🏻
Hi Natasha! ☀️🌻☕️🌿
If I don’t have oregano but have oregano medicinal oil can I substitute?
Also I need to look up how to harvest yarrow, catnip, and calendula because I’m a first time grower for those.
Also, in my stock, I have lemon thyme, lemon basil, Geneviese basil, and cinnamon basil.
You have a wonderful collection going! You can absolutely substitute medical oils if they are food-grade! I would be very light-handed with it because oils are so strong in flavor 🫶🏻
I have spotted bee balm and not the standard kind. Would that work as well or should I find the basic bee balm?
Spotted bee balm is wonderful for nausea and vomiting. I find spotted bee balm (Monarda punctata) to be very interchangeablewith other Monarda (bee balm) varieties.
Where can I get catmint tea leaves?
It's been a long time since I have bought herbs rather than growing them. I'll check my herbology introduction book reference and see if the older recommendations are still available.
I have borage, what part do you harvest?
We typically harvest leaves and flowers 😊
for me yarrow smells like ozonol that we had back in the days
I'm not familiar with the smell of ozonol but it is certainly a surprising smell to say the least!
@@ShepherdingPeppersFarm i think you are too young. i stopped seing it when i was young and im 48 :-) it was use like polisporin.. stop.bleeding ...im sure it had some yarrow in it
❤❤❤❤❤
