Making a lovely linden tea is so simple. You may want to add a tablespoon or two of local raw honey and a cream scone with fresh jam. The tea loves to be drunk in the dead of winter, sitting in a soft chair with a plate full of madeleines and a warm cozy cat.

You will need:

  • 2 teaspoons tulsi (holy basil)

  • 2 teaspoons linden

  • ½ teaspoon lavender- Resist the impulse to use more. It will make the tea taste soapy.

  • 2 teaspoons unsprayed rose petals

  • honey, to taste

Spoon each dried herb into a large tea ball or tea pot and steep. Add honey to your liking.
