Hemlock tea?

Anyone else enjoy Hemlock tea?



I do. I picked some twigs today while snowshoeing and brewed up a pot.



What other trees / plants do you use to make tea with?

Peppermint... I've got several big jars of it I dried late last summer. Gave a plastic bag of it to some friends, who expressed concern at that it looked like. My answer: "Just have the narcs smell it!"

Mints - several different kinds, and I usually throw whatever type I have into a brown bag to dry - every mix is just a little different.

I am currently growing some Lemon Balm. When they seem large enough (maybe a year old?), I plan on pulling leaves for some tea.

Not the same stuff as Socrates had for his last drink, I hope! Ross. To email, remove the "obvious" from my address.

A different critter altogether; low-growing herb thing vs. a tree.

Somewhat OT, from a talk by Dr. Joyce Brothers, quoting a school kid's paper.

Socrates was a famous Greek philosopher. He went around telling people exactly what he thought, and always telling the truth. The poisoned him.

Some things never change...
