Backyard Green Tea

My children all recently came down with a cold. As I was making my dinner menu for the following week, I looked up healthy foods for colds and came across a few ideas of making your own green tea from healthy items in your own yard.

This is our Green Tea, made from rose leaves and petals, raspberry leaves and dandelion leaves. Next time we are hoping to find some of the Plantain herb, to utilize all of its wonderful healing properties!


It was dubbed the "Feel Me Better Tea", steeped for 20 minutes in boiling water from our teakettle, mixed with a spoonful of raw honey and enjoyed immensely! It had a very earthy green taste, was sweet and chock full of zinc and vitamin C!
