Missed this video before. Is there a video on the blends?
I am in love with your yard. What a beautiful way to live! Can’t wait to plant some of these things!
Love this! I was wondering if you use your dehydrator on all tea ingredients even the rose hips? or are any of them dried differently?
So fun! I just ordered seeds to grow my own tea garden! Thank u so much for sharing your wisdom!
This was a great video!! I’m working on the beginning of a medicinal & tea garden, and I love yours! Also, raspberry IS great for women…unless you’re pregnant, when it can cause spontaneous miscarriages. Thanks for a look at your setup:)
Yes thank you for ideas on plants to get
I see you have Lavender directly in the ground! Where is it? Like in shade or part shade/sun?
Awesome garden
Is there anything I can make from tea olive tree blooms? Thanks!
You are hot i need a calming tea🤔
Dude, how could you put out a video about growing your own tea, yet not feature camellia sinensis? lol
Repent , the kingdom of God is at hand , read your bible for yourself, and pray , there is nothing our there in the world ,ask God to guide and protect you ,if you have any question please ask me.,
Great video. Wish you had shown more close up and detail on what part of plant you harvest and how you put it in dehydrator.
What temperature and how long in the dehydrator
Your gorgeous. Love your energy. I just moved where i can plant . I’ve been wanting a tea and figured of looking to have my own to make from my yard
I’m so happy to have found you!! I live in Michigan too and I’m starting a tea garden! I love that I can apply your information to my garden!! So excited to watch all your videos!
Great video!!! Thank you! I’ve been thinking of growing green tea lately.
How long did you dry them??
I love your Garden , it’s beautiful outside your house ,
Have you tried dehydrated strawberries in teas? delish.
i just started. my wife is always wanting chamomile so i planted 2 versions. i also got province lavender, peppermint, spearmint and a camellia sinensis. not much room to grow but its a nice start
Do you ever find the flavors of the herbs blending when you dehydrate them all at the same time? I’ve only been dehydrating herbs for a couple months and have been dehydrating only one type of herb at a time because I’m afraid the flavors will cross contaminate…?
wow you are beautiful!
Staying fit coz of your lifestyle….you are pretty mam
You are absolutely stunning and so is the garden
I harvested some nettle over the weekend. I was not expecting the scent it produced. Lucky it doesnt take long to try lol
Do you wash your leaves before drying?
Gorgeous omg
I can’t plant anything deer will eat everything🥲
Hi, there is an Indian Dish called Sambarpalli which you can make with Borage leaves. Let me know if you give it a try, Sonja xx
Horehound grows wild here in my part of Arizona. It over takes everything and most people think it is the worst weed ever. I taught our prepper group about it and how to make teas and sore throat drops.
Goals!! Goals!!
Hello! May I know which part of the world do you live in :)?!
I wanted to start growing tea so I started researching this topic and I found this video first it is so helpful and I learned alot
Yuo are sooo good looking!
One tip about harvesting herbs: pick them very early in the morning. That way the sun won’t hit them and evaporate some of their beneficial oils. In my country, we pick herbs on the 24th of June under the moon. It’s considered the day of the "witches" aka healers and people working with herbs and they say that on that day, under the moon the herbs are the best quality.
@2:17 Oh Rachel how beautiful! Your landscaping is just gorgeous! Good job you too Todd!
I want to start a tea garden so badly. We live full-time in our camper. We are stationary. I have lavender and Mint in pots so far.
Lol the bee was buzzing loud a flew off kinda angry when you cut the borage 😂 and you say " I hope he’s not too mad"
Nooo not mad at all 🤣
Whoa you are one hot momma 😍
Thankyou so much for this lesson on harvesting tea. I drink tea every day and have joined a local club for the plants I don’t have. Lately I have been experimenting with putting dried fruit in with the leaves. makes for pleasant drinking.
do you know anything about Purple Dead Nettle tea
This is the life that I want ! Growing and making herbal teas <3
I cant find the video on putting these teas together and making blends. Did it happen? New to the channel and loving your videos 🙂
Oh my, what a wonderful garden! Thanks so much for sharing!
