Hi Snick,
How r u??A few good days for gardening eh??Too hot!!

Thanks, that's awesome. I understand your instructions perfectly! And I can see from the pictures too, so I might have a go. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers, Keri :-)

I heard about lemon sage, but not pineapple sage. I'll definitely have to try and find it somewhere!

Never heard of lavender tea? You should try some when you get a chance. There's several ways you can prepare it. Just steep some fresh or dried lavender flowers in boiled water for a delicate lavender taste, or you can add some to ordinary black tea for a different taste (similar to how earl Grey tea is black tea flavoured with bergamot) Best to steep in the lavender for a while and then add a teabag because if you put them in together the tea flavour drowns the lavender.

The tap water at home isn't very tasty, but I refuse to drink bottled water at home. Because I've started to get into the locavore thing more and more the last couple of years I was feeling more and more guilty about buying tea which has been transported thousands of miles. Although I haven't kicked the habit completely (my excuse is that it doesn't weigh that much, so not as much energy has been wasted transporting tea compared to say, chocolate) I've been flavoring my water with herbs from my garden. I grow and make tea from lemon balm, rozemary, sage, thyme, mint and lavender at the moment. a combination of lemon balm and sage is my favorite right now. Thinking of growing some chamomile, and rose hips and have slowly been surfing the web to see if liquorice root is feasible in my garden... if it's possible that would be great with mint :)
