Herbal Teas-Christmas Gifts

I've been drying herbs all summer in the hope of putting together some herb teas for gifts.  Yesterday I ground up my concoctions and tested them.
First I ground up the herbs and berries-
This is the strawberry tea, strawberries, strawberry leaves, red clover, currant leaves and stevia.
Then I put it in tea bags-




Ironing the bags shut-


I printed out some tea bag holders off of the internet.

Last, I put the tea bags in the holders and Viola! Christmas gifts.

I made peppermint, citrus, strawberry and licorice.
The Strawberry was great, I hope the rest taste as good.
These will go in the gift baskets that I plan to make up for Christmas presents.

I like those. I was thinking about tea today when I was raking. My husband planted mint and it is coming up all over the back yard. I should try to dry some.
