I add honeysuckle to a lot of my own teas. Adds a little sweetness to some teas. Loved that you said the yellow flowers are the best. I’ll add more yellow honeysuckle plants to an old corn crib that it grown on . ( not a great idea to having it grow on the corn crib, as it grows way up to the top of the cribs. ❤
This video is five years old, back before I even started growing honeysuckle and even now I do not use my honeysuckle for tea as I dry and save that for adding to my skin cream infusion and the honeysuckle I grow is dark pink with yellow centers. You must be thinking of the part where I was talking about growing both yellow and orange calendula and how I liked having the yellow with the orange as it adds more color. Anyway, if you are interested, I did do a video this past year on the benefits of honeysuckle: ruclips.net/video/EtUQQ0l6gVo/видео.html
As always, thank you Heidi✨💐🌿
I enjoyed this video. Watching you make your blends and hearing you explain as you go helps a lot. Thank you!
This was a very educational video on herbs and how to use them for teas. I love herbal teas and all of the benefits you get from them.
Enjoyed this video tremendously
Once it gets cold I like tea in the evening. I mostly mix my own dried mint, plantain, sage, then add to it as I feel (hawthorn, rosehips, ..... I dried some red currants this summer and they are quite good in a tea blend!) But I will also use tea I was given, Turkish black with apple or orange added is quite nice.
I keep meaning to make myself a sage tea as I grow a lot of it and love the taste of sage. I think I may have added it to some experimental blends in the past but never tried it alone. One thing I forgot to mention was the addition of elderberry this time of year just for an added immune boost
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time amen. Hallelujah.❤❤❤
🙏🏼Amen🙏🏼
God is good ALL THE TIME love it
I really enjoyed watching this video! I live in Florida and organic oranges are a must. Orange groves here are very heavily sprayed because of the citrus greening infestation. They are working on GMO oranges because of this, too.
My favorite tea hot or cold is Lemongrass with organic lemons ( dried and reconstituted in the tea ). and local honey or if I'm out organic sugar.
So glad I found this!!! Thank you.
AWESOME !!! I ALSO HAVE N USE LEMON N LIME PEELS DRIED OUT ALSO . CURRENTLY I AM DRYING OUT MY ROSE HIPS FROM MY ROSE BUSHES . HUGS FROM MICHIGAN
I LOVE this!! This is right up my alley!
Mine too😊
Love the herbal teas and make mine every morning including many of what you have there. I also never buy any store brands.
Oh ... I learned something new alright ... I am at ‘square one’ when it comes to herbs and herbal tea. Have a lot to learn. Just another reason I love your videos.
Thank you Lonely :) I still have a lot to learn myself, I just keep plugging along as I go :D
Your collection is breathtaking :) I loved this video, Thanks so much for sharing great info!
Thank you!
Lucky for me I recently got some terrific other "herbs" & was just wondering what to mix with it to make some tea...
You've got great ideas & info. I so appreciate learning from you!!
Thanks so very much Blessings back ✝😊
Great vid. Thank you so much! I already use my own dehydrated orange peel, and organic cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon. Was recently given some Rooibus tea but haven’t tried it yet so I am especially glad for the tips on it. Love the Gladstar books you recommended. They are helping me a lot.
Awesome shelf of goodness! I am saving this list for sure!
This was a fun video. I am enjoying learning from you. Do you forage much for medicinals?
We do a bit, but only when we are already out. When looking for some chantrelles, we harvest some salal berries and leaves, but most of the wild medicinals I collect here on our tiny piece. Plantain, dandelion, and such. :)
Enjoyed this. Easy to listen to. I recently have been deep diving into organic herbal homemade tea. Yet I have learned many things here in this video. Thanks. The teas I have been making consist of: Lemongrass, Chamomile, Pau D' Arco, Leeks Plant, Beets, Ginger, Turmeric, Garlic and Onion. Your thoughts on these items?
While I have not personally tried a couple of them, it all sounds like good stuff. Some is very nourishing, some is very detoxifying, some is good for pain and inflammation, and so on
@Ix Suomi Turmeric is often used for a dye but it is a highly beneficial root for health. We have even used it for pain relief and as an antibiotic. Do a bit of research on it and you may be surprised
I just ordered Rooibos vanilla tea from MRH to try it. I am a coffee lover but have decided I am going to add tea to my diet. You talked me into it😄love and prayers❤
Rooibos would be great with vanilla! I am going to try that next time I brew up some rooibis tea - which just might be this evening! :D
Rain Country vanilla and cinnamon tastes great in my coffee so I guess it will taste good in tea too❤
I have rooibos, rosehip and hibiscus - I want to add vanilla but I can’t find the pods in any of the supermarkets around here - can I flavour a batch of rooibos using a little bit of vanilla extract or will it spoil the rooibos quicker as it make it damp?
I love rosehip and hibiscus, but now I will try it with rooibos. Thanks for the suggestion.
According to "Christophe BERNARD - Althea Provence", who has a channel dedicated to medicinal herbs, regular use of licorice will elevate the blood pressure and its use is counter-indicated to people with chronically high blood pressure. For more details, you can contact him (he's French, but spent several years in the states and is probably fluent in English).
Just a quick correction here Heidi. Rooibos is an Afrikaans word meaning red bush. It's pronounced like roybos. I'm South African and love rooibos too. A great mix with rooibos, is buchu, also from SA. Have you tried our honey bush tea, it's lovely!!
Hi , Such a great video. Wanted to say you might try lemon peel, or elderberry syrup in your passionflower tea. I'm a sucker for Honey in my tea including herbal teas. At the moment I'm doing Ginger tea and Mealuka honey . Helps with Crones, UC, IBD & IBS.
I'll have to try that tea you mentioned.
God Bless
I just do not like sweetness in my tea.
@@RainCountryHomestead I hear you .☺️
Do you use nasturtium flowers? I found your channel a couple weekends ago I just love it. My first sewing machine was a New Home treadle sewing machine made in 1886. My father found it at an Antique store he had it refurbished and gave it to me for my birthday. I just loved it. God bless.
I use nasturtium flowers a lot but not in tea. I have used my dried ones in my homemade herbal shampoo blend and a few other things but I am thinking the radish taste would not be great in tea. I do add the fresh flowers and leaves to salads in the summer and have even tried fermenting some like kimchi and it was quite good. :D
Rain Country nasturtiums radish taste? Lol I must have different taste buds mine taste like pepper.
another awesome video Mrs R !!
Star West Botanicals is my other go to for herbs.
They used to be for me until I realized most if not all their herbs come from China
I still need to go over to Mountain Rose. I’m gonna do that. I checked Amazon too for a couple and I, like you didn’t find anything that said organic on the marshmallow. I think there was leaves and flowers organic and no root? Idk I forget. I’m gonna get some cause I’ve had a cough from a URI for almost 4 weeks! It’s killing me! Ugh 😑
Thanks for sharing. Love, hugs and blessings ~The Kid!
Though I doubt marshmallow needs to be sprayed because it grows so well on its own, I still do not fully trust some things not labeled organic. The one they had on Amazon was just leaves. I think you can find root powder, but for things like this, I do not like using powders.
In my opinion drinking lots of any kind of herbal tea with lots of spice is great for any kind of infection. I have found spices that are strongest in flavor (like clove and so on) also seem to be the most powerful when fighting off infections and illness. So I am sure whatever you have on hand will help.
Your teas sound so good. I noticed you do not label your herbs, your memory must still be awesome. I would forget what is what🤔 and would end up sick! I’ll be labeling my home grown herbs for sure, lol 😂 💚☘️
I label my spices and herbs I use for cooking as many look alike but with the herbs I use for teas, they are all pretty distinct in appearance so I do not have a problem telling them apart and I do not always like how my labels look after awhile. Since these are not put away in a cupboard, I like them to look clean and neat. :)
I love to have pansies in the yard and would love to start using them in teas and salads. Where would I get them though? I know it wouldn't be the ones from Home Depot. Lol.
I have quite often bought pansy plants from our local nursery. The most beneficial ones would actually be the smaller more wild variety which is the viola tricolor
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you and thank you so much for all you do and always taking the time to respond no matter how old the video!! I have been following you on here for years and Rumble when you started on there. I know I've said it before but I have learned so much from you. Thank you again. 💓
Blessings ❤️
Debbie here, Washington 👩🌾please advise…. First time drying herbs in dehydrator,,,mint at 125, came out beautiful held color . Lemon balm 125’ turned ugly gray,,,question,,is it the heat? Does different herbs take different degrees? 95’ was the lowest for herbs….or does it matter what herb as long as I stay in the range listed for herbs? OR…
….is the graying because of the time of day , weather conditions. It is a bit warm right now. Is this a true statement? “ to keep herbs from browning or graying in the dehydrator you must pick them when the plant is at its perkiest”? 🐝🐝🐝
I actually do not dry my herbs that high anymore. The highest I go is 115° for herbs but usually 110° Please check out my latest herb dehydrating video that just published today: ruclips.net/video/Bca3thmL0MY/видео.html
Have you tried making tea with kaffir lime leaves either on it's own or part? I brought a plant so I knew where they come form, grown indoors in winter, outside in summer
Never tried it
I love that you use herbs a lot of ppl grow, but I really wish that you would show actual measurements. Even smaller servings for the mixes.
I don't show measurements because I do not use measurements. One of the reasons I started making videos was to SHOW people how much in approximate amounts I use when making various recipes and when making teas, I never make them the same way twice. Every thing is approximate. That is the point. Make it in a way to suit you. Want to make a smaller amount? Use smaller ratios than what I show.
@@RainCountryHomestead, thanks for the reply. I was hoping for more of a guesstimate for new ppl who are just learning. For example, start with around a 1/4 c. Or im putting in around a half cup. Especially when making such large amounts. I always try to figure out what a single serving would be of the mix so you don't waste a bunch of herbs while trying the mix. If you mix up huge batches, it could be a waste if you don't like it. 🤷♀️
I so love your teapot!!!! Have you tried oils? Such as fennel and cress seed??
Tried them for what? I make all kinds of infused oils but not for using in teas
Nice video thank you👍
Interesting thank you
sounds like nice warm stuff to ward off the NW damp, and the aches and pains that come along with it! i looked for the Rooibos tea video you referred to and couldn't find it. can you please post the link? i'm very interested in what it's health benefits are, compared to regular black and green teas.
oops! never mind, i found it. ruclips.net/video/YyQCExqImNU/видео.html
Thanks for letting me know, it can be hard trying to go through the video and remember to link all the videos I say or remember to add things in the description box. There is always so much to do when editing and uploading videos (literally hours of work)! Glad you found it!
I see I ran out of cards, no wonder, but then forgot to add the link in the description box! Taking care of that now :D
i can't imagine getting so much done in a day like you do. your hard work in getting these videos up is much appreciated. the knowledge you share is life changing stuff.
Do you have any information about pine needle tea?
I know it is high in vitamin C but we do not have pine trees in our area so no, I do not have any videos on making tea from it
Organic is something i havent been able to wrap my head around. Who actually decides if something is considered organic and how can we trust it actually is organic. With organic becoming trendy i worry about over priced products that arent actually organic or the standard for organic is not up to snuff. It is a confusing and untrustworthy world latley.
This is such a great question and one I wonder about often. When buying anything organic I feel we are all just having to take a step of faith. The only way we can ensure anything we have is organic is if we grow it ourselves. Which of course is not possible for everything
Is passion flower from a passion vine?
Yes
Where do you get your jars and lids, love the green and brown?
The colored jars I got at our local small town store. Not all colors and styles are available anymore though as I believe they were all made for only a limited time. The wide mouth lids I had found on Amazon years ago but they have since gone way up in price. The regular mouth ones came with handmade jar candles I would buy from a local lady.
Can you use blueberry leaves to make tea?
Yes and though I have yet to try it myself, it is said the best time to harvest them for tea is in the fall after their color starts to change
Why do you use Ceylon cinnamon verses the cassia
Great question and though I have answered this in other videos, I do not always think to say it every time I mention it so I am very glad you asked. Cassia cinnamon is high in a compound called coumarin which can cause liver damage if taken in large amounts. Now, I am going to guess that not everyone eats large amounts of cinnamon like we do, so this may not be a huge concern. Looking into this further I have found it is likely that some of the concern over cassia is overblown, however, for those who like us, go through a great amount of cinnamon, I will still stand strong on the switching to ceylon.
Is ceylon used to improve diabetes?
Barbara Rote you improve diabetes by not eating ANY sugars or anything that turns into sugar.
Aloha Heidi, I was wondering, do you ever cold press your herbal teas overnight?
No, but I do let whatever is left sit over night and reheat it in the morning
When you say “ right up here “ it is not posting up there .
On my older videos like this I used what is called iCards. you have to hover over the screen and when you see a little i pop up, you click on that to find the links I put there. I stopped using them a few years ago because people had a hard time finding them and they only allow me to put 5 links
Do you put your spice blend just in the pot or do you put it in the bag that goes in the pot?
I just put it right in the pot as is, sometimes add it directly to my cup of coffee or tea
it is translated as Red bush tea. this rooibos that you keep pronounceing as roobus. Rooi is red in afrikaans and bos is bush
Yes, thank you, I had looked it up and learned the same though the pronunciation I looked up is the way I am pronouncing it, not to say it is right, it is what I found.
Do you use Moringa leaves?
I have powdered moringa. I am not currently growing it but did finally get some seed so I may start a plant at some time
Rain Country we have 75 trees growing on our farm. We love it fresh and powdered
@@jonescreekfarm9084 Don't think we have space for that many and I am not sure they would even grow well in our cool and VERY wet climate, but I may try indoors.
God is good, God is great, yay God! And..... God hates Trump! Do you have a good house keeping seal of approval?
Why would I want one?
On a side note, just because I am a Christian does not mean I voted for Trump nor will I in this next election. That also does not mean I voted for Hillary or will vote for whatever left wing selection there is. They are all wicked
God hates no one
