I recently purchased a flat of plants from a garden center that were packaged together as a ‘tea blend’. It contained chamomile, lemon balm, and orange mint. I put them into a nice planter (i container garden) and they are all doing very well. (i also have some other mints and catnip that i could add to the tea mix)
I do drink a lot of tea, but i’ve never brewed herbal tea from actual herbs. My tea experience began with lipton tea bags and has only grown to loose earl grey in a stainless tea brewer.
So what do i do next? Do i dry it? Can i brew it straight out of the garden?
And i read somewhere (i think) that the chamomile needs to bloom and i use the flowers?
