A look at an interesting tea recipe from the medieval era herb gardens.
During my research for the Medieval Herb Garden Plants articles I came across this interesting rose tea recipe from Rose Magazine. It is actually translated from writings from the medieval era.
Translated: 5 teaspoons of rose petals are steeped in 4 cups of boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes; then sweetened with honey and served warm.
I know roses and rose hips are a common part of many teas but I have to admit I have never been brave enough to grow my own tea componants yet. Perhaps this year, with my large vegetable garden going in, I may grow some chamomile, rose hips and other tea plants for my own personal use and enjoyment.
What plants have you grown for kitchen use? Do you grow your own tea, pottpourri or seasoning blends? Tell me about your personal tea blends!
