Look at these---
Aren't they beautiful? They're the tea plants that I ordered from Burnt Ridge Nursery .
They are bigger and healthier than I had imagined-and reasonably priced. One is for my mom and the other????well, I just may keep it myself. I'll let you know how the tea tastes. :))

Making Tea
Sometimes I think I'm hard to live with. Last weekend I wouldn't have wanted to be in the house with me. :)
So once clear thought returned, I decided to make some tea. Not that it will really help, but maybe a placebo effect is all I need. I threw together some rasberry leaves, red clover, bee balm and stevia. I had heard that red clover is good for PMS. I did a little research on each of the ingredients and found that:
Red Clover: May reduce cholesterol, reduce bone loss, and help PMS.
Rasberry Leaves: May alleviate cold symptoms, help get rid of cancer and cold sores, and have Vitamin C, Vitamin A, calcium and phosphorus. (Also good for pregnant ladies.)
Bee Balm: Tastes good :), May helps treating colds, headaches, fevers and help digestive problems.
Stevia: I put this in just as a sweetener but it also may help treat high blood pressure, digestion, heartburn, and osteoporosis.
( It's best to check with your doctor before using any herbal treatments.)
The tea tastes good and I guess it's good for me. I think I'll rummage around through my dried herbs and see what other concoctions I can come up with.

Speaking of Plants
