Drank some DIY herbal for Ashmanra’s monthly prompt: April 17th – national herbalist day!
I have so many random herbals lying around, gifts from others a homegrown mix here and there; and an old roommate of mine got into herbalism while we were living together so I have a lot of their test blends hahaha. For this prompt, I chose to go with something a little special – my partners old roomie now has a house in central MA and has a lush butterfly/tea garden. He gifted us a little jar of his personal blend – red clover, mint, rose, lemon balm, sage, and lavender. Sounds like a chaotic blend, but all the flavors were pretty subdued and thus made for a very light herbaceous brew. The lavender, lemon balm, and clover were the stronger flavor players in this blend, and I certainly didn’t hate it! It made my allergies and scratchy throat feel so nice :)
I’m surprised the mint and rose didn’t dominate, they are pungent herbs. Sounds like a nice brew!
