greetings from the hills of west Ireland. Great to see a youngling who is enjoying the beauty of growing stuff instead of wasting away on the phone all day. well done, my little cottage is surrounded by herbs, fruit trees, and plants and flowers for the bees and wild-life. What could be better in life.
@@AuxhartGardening could well be, Mrs Hobbit makes, makes our bread and lovely cakes, Rogue-dog and Jonesy the cat sleep on the door step, a door that's open all day. Only problem is I am a bit big for a Hobbit.
I really appreciate the tea bag concept - thank you for sharing! I'd like to offer a suggestion: avoid adding honey to hot tea, as high temperatures can compromise the medicinal properties of raw honey. Instead, consider incorporating it into warm tea to fully enjoy its benefits.
Thanks for sharing. I had a sage plant in my garden that I did not know what to do. Ran into your video - just seeped a cup of sage tea with lemon to enjoy!
My sage plant comes back beautifully every year. I grew it from seed my first year gardening. :) I only ever dried it and boiled it as a hair rinse. thanks for the fry idea!
I really want to try fried sage now. Sizzling is because of water in something, so letting them dry out probably means less sizzle. You only have to put 1-2 fresh ones in at the same time to see if they sizzle much more. That's what I'm going to do.
God I wish I had friends like you in my life! So, I also started to grow some herbs and my sage is thriving here in Oklahoma! Anyways, I didn’t want it to go to waste so I decided to take a chance on RUclips to learn a little more about how to use it and Wallah!!!!! The chips came out great, but I added a taste of butter to the oil. Also, I made some sage/lemon balm tea and squeezed in some lemon and used agave nectar instead of the honey. It was the best tea ever! Thank you so much for the video! I appreciate you! God bless❤️
Thanks for this comment! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know, because knowing I'm helping people helps me to keep going! Btw, in an alternate universe maybe we would've met. I lived in the Panhandle of Texas most of my life and my family only left because of the 2008 financial crisis.
This was great. She is so sweet. I love how she wants the bow to make it look cute. Frying sage and Tea? I had no idea. Been trying to come up with some ideas. Loved the content. Thank you
Fried sage is awesome! I have only used olive oil to do it and I think it comes out tasting kinda like popcorn. I will have to try it with the coconut oil and will try the tea too. Thanks for sharing this!
Hey y'all, I spent one summer while in the army in the mountains near Salt Lake City at Camp Williams. We were out in the field on the mountain late summer early fall and all you could smell was sage 24 hours a day. It was like my mothers sage and onion turkey stuffing and every Thanksgiving I still think of that summer. Food: smells, tastes experiences are all such powerful memory triggers as well as memory tags to find our memories. I really thank you for this specific video it really has hit a special note for me! Blessing be safe bye for now
maybe test how much popping you get with different wilting levels- think the wilting goal is to get rid of a bit of extra moisture to reduce popping :)!
You're welcome! Glad I can give those filter's a purpose. That's sort of what happened to me too. I switched from drip coffee to instant for convenience and had filters left over.
Thanks for the entertaining video about using sage. I am always trying to find ways to use the herbs my girlfriend grows. I will definitely be harvesting tips instead of individual leaves. We have been frying the leaves in batter to make an excellent appetizer, but will try some without the batter. Tea bag staples will disappear into your compost and will add iron - leave them on!
Nice one! I love that you love to experiment in the kitchen too. Fun to see your kitchen system, mirrors mine a bit. Sage chips ARE bomb, they’re so good thrown in a cast iron roasted nut mix with coconut oil or ghee, pecans, coconut chips, pink salt, a la mode anything you can think of lol, same with basil but the texture of the sage hits different 😋
Thanks for the tea bag tip - have fried sage before. There's an old adage "Why must a man die - if he have sage in his garden" Tis one of my favorite herbs and does really well in my Las Vegas garden even with the 115 F temps we get here
Thank you for sharing these great ideas for using sage. Also you wilt the leaves to remove some of the moisture/water content from the leaves. The fresher the leaves the more popping when it hits the hot oil because the moisture content in the leaf is very high when fresh.
Thank you for showing me this! Im growing sage for the first time, I didn't know you could do those things, thanks! and I think the reason to let the leaves wilt is so that they will be flat when you fry them, thats just my guess.
Ohh lol thank you so much for that lemon and honey tip. I stopped drinking tea cus i was useing to much sugar to make it taste good. I appreciate the helpful videos
Thanks! It's one of those herbs that isn't used as widely in american cooking so I hope this can help people find ways to use such a beautiful plant and have an excuse to keep it in the garden.
Cool video! I love learning something new. I love sage. I tried growing it a few years ago and it died. I think I overwatered it. I've got to give it a go again and if I succeed, I will for sure try frying it.
It's definitely been a hands-off plant for me! Rain seems to have watered it enough for most of it's life. If you do happen to have success, let me know!
@@AuxhartGardening Do you watch Making It Grow with host Amanda McNulty? They have a bunch of Clemson Extension Agents on answering gardening questions.
I'll have to try dried sage. I've just been boiling fresh chopped leaves and drinking it plain but iced. It's pretty bad but I'll gag anything down if it's good for me.
First time seeing this, started converting my backyard 11 years ago. Imagine what 4 thornless blackberries look like now. They started putting out beautiful white flowers a few days ago in WNC. and Wine berries too. What do you do with sage flowers? I like to watch the bees do their thing, let broccoli and collards go to flower in early spring.
Glad I found this very informative. I retired in July and this past spring I decided I would start planting some seeds and stuff and take up some gardening since I'll have the time. I watched a video about planting smelly stuff to keep the critters and bugs away from your main plants. I planted sage, rosemary, lavender. The sage and rosemary grew alot. I have a whole bunch of sage that I clipped off my plant yesterday since today was supposed to be our first freeze in Wyoming. I wanted to know what I could do with it. Started drying some for the tea . I can just fry the rest and see what it taste like. Next to find something to do with my Rosemary. Curious do you know if the sage and the Rosemary Will survive the Wyoming winter? Got down to -42 last year usually doesn't get that cold though. Thanks
Thank you for this video, actually I have dried sage leaves, given by friend who came from abroad and I'm boiling it to make a tea. ..I dont know what is sage before...
Some great ways to use sage. Sage hasn't been in our yard much but this year are trying the pineapple sage after getting some from our local market last year. Mostly as an add for tea but am really excited to try this both ways. Thanks for the share!
@@AuxhartGardening Raw I would say there is a bit of pineapple flavor but not too much. Never had it cooked in anything or tried it in the yard before this year but can get a bit of sweet flavor as is and hoping for alot better look to come. :)
I think the idea behind wilted sage leaves is to reduce the water content in the leaf to concentrate flavor, but still leave the leaf supple enough for frying. I would use a smaller cast iron pan for only five leaves, also use a fan. don't need the Fire Department showing up for "Afternoon Sage Tea and Chips".
There is no better tea bag for sage than the leaf itself. Throw couple leaves, as fresh as possible into boiling water and you have tea. Compostable too
True, and that's what I'll probably do with mine, but now I know a great way to make a tea bag when I really need to, for small loose leaf teas. Really appreciate this video!
Unfortunately my Sage doesn't seem to like my Florida sand. Been wanting to bounce it into a pot and try growing it on the porch. Now I have a good reason to actually get off of my buttocks and do it, lol. Thank you for the motivation, now if you could only find a way to motivate me to wash my vehicles, lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I'd recommend simply drying leaves from your plant (you can do this simply by laying them out on a paper towel, or by hanging them). Then brew them like any other tea leaf. If you don't want to wait for them to dry, you can also do this with fresh leaves.
I’ve never thought about that, but maybe! Although something tells me you’ll get a better flavor from a slower room-temp infusion, since heat degrades oils.
How many time to use the same amount of sage herb to make a cup of tea? is it enough to serve 2 cups? I heard one tea spoon of rosemary can serve 5 cups of tea.
I think that's up to you. The taste will get more and more diluted each time, but it's not like it's bad for you to re-use the leaves. So it's just about what your tolerance is for the strength of your tea.
The "planted it and didn't get around to using it" is me with sage this year. We're supposed to get our first frost tonight (30-31F) and I haven't used it for anything yet. Do you know if the leaves can survive frost without damage? I'm trying to use up my malabar spinach for today's dinner so I don't intend on using the sage yet but might use it later. Wondering if I should still pick it tonight or can wait until I'm ready to eat it.
It will survive a frost! Mine grew all winter last winter and looked great doing it. It doesn't get super cold here though, maybe low teens at the very worst.
@@AuxhartGardening ok, that's good. The average annual low here (zone 6) is around -4F, and can get down to about -15F on very cold years. I know people around here are able to grow them as perennials so they can survive, but they generally lose their leaves at some point, I just wasn't sure when. Temps here should stay above 15F for a month or so though, the coldest part of winter here is usually late January to mid February.

I enjoyed this, never knew you could fry sage. I might try it. Well done!
Let me know if you do! If you like kale chips, you'll probably like it.
@@AuxhartGardening what about the orange and pinks blossoms sage can I drink it
Thank you for sharing this. I never knew you could fry sage. That's awesome
Thanks for sharing. I had a sage plant in my garden that I did not know what to do. Ran into your video - just seeped a cup of sage tea with lemon to enjoy!

@@AuxhartGardening So far so good - will keep you posted!
My sage plant comes back beautifully every year. I grew it from seed my first year gardening. :) I only ever dried it and boiled it as a hair rinse. thanks for the fry idea!

Hen adding honey to te or anything else… use a wooden or plastic spoon to add/stir. The metal changes the benefits of the honey.
I loved watching this thankyou!!💛 going to try this - love the sage chips!
Neat way to make tea and tea bags from our herb harvest! Love it!
Thanks! Hope it works for you!
Thank you. I did grow a lot sage my garden but I did not known how to use it.
Glad it was helpful!
Do sage beer. Literally none of the brewers on here have done it yet. You'll be ahead of the curve.

Haha yes! Plus bottled is so much cheaper.
Unless you have a lemon tree, but then you have way too many lemons for a couple of months.... then back to the store for a bottle.
👍I'm going to try, thanks 🙂

Ah yes, I don't know much at all about sandy soils; we have red clay here. When in doubt, potting soil usually does the trick though.
Noticed a Garlic stalk? or Onion? next to the sage video. how'd that turn out?
Damn Girl you really know about your Herbs
Haha thanks
GF..AIR FRY THOSE SAGE LEAVES..that oil is about to pop into a fire. That burner was entirely too hot.. I was scared for you//😊
how can i make lemon basil tea? i have lots of lemon basil plant
I'd recommend simply drying leaves from your plant (you can do this simply by laying them out on a paper towel, or by hanging them). Then brew them like any other tea leaf. If you don't want to wait for them to dry, you can also do this with fresh leaves.
Where did you get that coffee cup?
Never thought about making sage chips but they look really tasty.
An ex bf of mine got it for me as a gift. I think it was from Etsy.
Does frying the sage flavor the oil so it can be used in things like dressings etc...... Debbie
I’ve never thought about that, but maybe! Although something tells me you’ll get a better flavor from a slower room-temp infusion, since heat degrades oils.
Hi i live in Gaffney South Carolina what part do you live in ? I have three different kinds of sage growing .
Im near Clemson
How many time to use the same amount of sage herb to make a cup of tea? is it enough to serve 2 cups? I heard one tea spoon of rosemary can serve 5 cups of tea.

It will survive a frost! Mine grew all winter last winter and looked great doing it. It doesn't get super cold here though, maybe low teens at the very worst.
@@AuxhartGardening ok, that's good. The average annual low here (zone 6) is around -4F, and can get down to about -15F on very cold years.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️
Do they grow after frost? Unlike mint they grow every year and after heavy snow still comes out like weeds its crazy
In my area the sage stays green all winter. It's a mild winter, but we still have below freezing nights for a month or two.
What are the staples made out of? If it's just metal I can't see it doing any harm in the compost.
They're sharp, and never break down. I can't imagine running my hands through my soil and getting a staple stuck in my hand.
@@AuxhartGardening Fair point, I don't really drink tea so I didn't know how sharp they are.
Can sage be used as a seasoning for meat?
Yeah absolutely
Made a delicious chicken dish with sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic fried in butter. Add some honey and chicken broth.
Here's a tip, buy yourself some tea bags.
Lovely does it make you ioss weight for I don't want to loss weight
As chips that's probably too much sage
Just to fry sage took 14 minutes for you
Your sage looks bigger than those sage in the market.
It's just a really healthy plant! It must like my climate.
