tea of the gods~!

[2eclipse]

so inspired by keisolo, i went to my garden and picked fresh peppermint, catnip and lemon balm (interestingly enough, while catnip acts as a stimulant for cats, it is a sedative for humans as well as good for respiratory function). i washed them, threw the leaves into a teapot, added boiling water and voila! a lemony minty concoction resulted that pleases me greatly. i don't often make teas from the fresh stuff in my garden. i should know better.

Infusions are good. My French host family did these all the time from stuff in the garden. Deeeelicious.

It sounds wonderful. I didn't know catnip was for human injestion.

Catnip is a lovely lovely substance.
Care in use, though. Every once in a while you find a human who reacts similarly to cats.

Sounds tasty.

And glad to be of service.
