Sipdown! (6 | 19)
Another one from the winter subscription box.
A simple blend, but a good one. I love chamomile and I love lemongrass so this combination can do no wrong. Such a nice mix of that sweet lemon drop candy lemongrass with the soft honey and pollen notes of the chamomile.
I’m in the process of setting myself up to be able to just blend my own herbal tisanes based on my mood, and excited to get started once all my ingredients arrive. :)

We experimented with growing lemongrass a few summers ago—it was not finicky at all (my kind of plant)!
I grew lemongrass for a couple of years and I agree – nice and easy but not winter where I live. Worth it to buy in spring! Now I need to grow some of those flavored mints and pineapple sage for dressing up the iced tea one summer!
Have you tried apple mint? That’s another one that thrives for us.
I have ambitions of growing my own herbs, but not there yet ha ha! :P
I have never tried apple mint, gmathis! I was given a bouquet of roses that had one sprig of peppermint in it, and that sprig rooted. I will plant it in a pot. I bought pineapple sage today and plan to do my best to make it overwinter this year. I love the smell of pineapple!
Our apple mint is already putting out tentacles and trying to creep into the other pots. We tried pineapple mint a few seasons ago. It was pretty, but I didn’t think the flavor was very strong.
