that made a beautiful tea! i’d never heard of some of those!! I love how you always talk to us as if we are there. this is so interesting, I’m going to check into teas, instead of the pepsi i drink so much of
Enjoyed this video very much. I too make my own teas and tinctures.. I love foraging and I do source my herbs from organic providers.. I have a tincture that I make for a dry cough that I have from an axe inhibitor blood pressure medications that I absolutely swear by. So many beneficial herbs/plants that are just in our yard. God provides for us for sure. Yes I do have to take some medications which I hate too but I also know that my herbs have helped me tremendously. Thank you for sharing and hopefully give someone the initiative to research for their health ..
@@juliebauman3998 yes I actually take several unfortunately. I have really high blood pressure problems and have for years. I take Lisinopril, Hydralazine, Amlodipine and Lasix.
Oh my gosh. I usually use a dehydrator but since it's been so warm and not humid here in wi. I've been drying everything on my dining room table on newspapers. Wish I could post a pic. Enjoy your tea! Thanks for the video!
I hope more people give it a try. I order dried organic herbs online and it's so fun to create with them. Rosemary gladstar has some great books of recipes. Making your own lotion is life changing. Have fun.
Thank you! Have been trying your strawberry leaf tea concoction and it has been delicious. I switched out the basil with some peppermint last infusion and it was very good. So excited for these tea mixtures! Thank you Rachel.
Great video. Horsetail is an absolute weed in our garden and I am constantly fighting with it in my vegetable garden. I might have cringed when you said your horsetail was precious. I seriously could harvest pounds and pounds of it.
"Oh no are you guys okay?" 😂😂 Quick story, my sister and I love to use the app Marco Polo. It's a video messaging platform, so you can send videos back and forth to one person or a group. It's so much more fun than texting or Snapchat. We regularly have our phones propped up somewhere and inevitably the phone will fall over. The first time it happened, my sister went, "Oh no!!! Are you okay?!?!" and it has been a hilarious inside joke ever since. So when your camera fell over and you asked if we were okay, I laughed out loud 😄. Thank you so much for the great tea information! I've really wanted to do some more research on making my own tea blends and this video was very encouraging.
OMG!!!! I had my laptop balanced on the arm of the couch and when the camera went over, i thought it was my laptop falling!! Almost threw it on the floor trying to stop it falling BAHAHAHAHAHA my how i laughed and laughed and laughed!!! You got me!!! :) xxx
Thank you for sharing. I so want to use the herbs I have in my garden in other ways than to cook with them. I love tea, so this is the perfect starting place for me. I had no idea I could steep overnight and leave it on the counter. 😊
Okay, I'll be completely honest. I REALLY, REALLY miss you and Todd's what's for dinner episodes. It's the only thing I'll watch. I'm not into homemade teas, gardening stuff or bee stuff. But I really like the cooking stuff! 😂 Sorry, just me being honest. I just like watching all the delicious dinners you two would cook and honestly, I hope that's not over. Thanks!
They will be back! We always take a break from them in the summer when we're busy. Usually start back up when the days are short, and outdoor projects slow down.
Love this! I plan to have a tea garden soon. :) I don't have a freeze dryer, maybe one day, but I do have a dehydrator. I didn't grow up with tea, so I'm trying to get my pallet to get used to herbal things. Your infusion is a beautiful color;
This is a confusing word to spell! Palate= the roof of the mouth Pallet= a flat transport structure Palette= a thin board an artist uses to mix paints Hope this helps!
Thanks for this! I'll have to get foraging again next year. I find the hardest to pick are my raspberry leaves...LOL. Rasperries, yummm, and I feel like I'm stealing their solar panels when I take leaves. Isn't it lovely creating a pretty tea that is so nourishing to our bodies?
Ginger is very estrogenic. I started mixing some powdered ginger with honey for a bladder infection and with taking it a couple times a day it changed my hormones. Thank you for this! I'm 42 and know the change is right around the corner 😅
love love love this video!! I have everything to make this tea..but mine is all crushed up...how do I know how much to use? I would like to make a bulk jar like you did but I am a bit lost :(
I’d love to learn how to forage more. Especially mushrooms. I just found out I’m not supposed to have lemon balm, because of my thyroid & autoimmune diseases 😐 Thank you Rachael 🌺
Perfect timing Rachel. I just bought a tea-pot for this very reason. I planted some mint and rosemary and now want to get started on some flowers for next year. What types of dried flowers do you recommend? I don't take any prescriptions, so I'm open to all varieties.
Hey Rachel! Do you ever harvest wild St. John's Wort? I think it's real name is hypercium perforatum. Anyway it grows wild all over our property and is good to add a bit to homemade tea blends.
Have You tried basil tea? There’s actually lemon basil cinnamon basil both of which make the most amazing tea and basil is so good for you I actually mix the lemon basil with the cinnamon basil and peppermint together which makes the most wonderful tea in the health benefits are amazing
You might have said this and I missed it, but I think it’s important to stress that herbs are not without possible dangers and people shouldn’t just willy-nilly use them in whatever quantities without doing research, even if you have no health issues. You look really pretty in that blouse!
This is a sabbath year for our garden this year. The 7th year. Gardening will be back in the fall when we plant garlic, and full force again next year.
that made a beautiful tea! i’d never heard of some of those!! I love how you always talk to us as if we are there. this is so interesting, I’m going to check into teas, instead of the pepsi i drink so much of
I have been making tea blends today from my dried herbs. I am so shocked that your video was the same. Makes me smile. Love love this type of video. 😊
I love the oh no are you guys ok...😂 You're so real and love it!!! Recipes looks great

@jennyjarrett1208 would you share you blood pressure medication, please?

$50.00? 😳 It's priceless!
Who would not want to have it? We need it so desperately now a days. Thank you for sharing 😅💐
"The change of life tea" nettles are the bomb, I use them with my echinea, makes such a good tea.
I hope more people give it a try. I order dried organic herbs online and it's so fun to create with them. Rosemary gladstar has some great books of recipes. Making your own lotion is life changing. Have fun.
Thank you! Have been trying your strawberry leaf tea concoction and it has been delicious. I switched out the basil with some peppermint last infusion and it was very good. So excited for these tea mixtures! Thank you Rachel.
I made a tea from dehydrated fig leaves, okra and strawberry tops. It’s was good! I want to plant a tea garden next year for sure!
Hi Rachel, I remember you saying you have a lot of mugwort, this is a great plant for women’s health, specifically for peri-menopausal health.
Rachel.. the sound of your metal bowl on your counter has a charming “church Bell” melody 🎵
Great video. Horsetail is an absolute weed in our garden and I am constantly fighting with it in my vegetable garden. I might have cringed when you said your horsetail was precious. I seriously could harvest pounds and pounds of it.
Great idea! I was at the store today and off brand tea usually 2.50 is now 5.00 per box.
This is right on time. I am doing my first blend this afternoon!
Love this! Hope you share more ideas, especially the infusions for iced drinks because wow is it a hot summer!
Love this video, thank you Rachel ❤🙏🏽
Love this. ❤️ ans yes please, all your recipes. its going to be my new venture, making my own teas.
I have started using my screen sweater dryer (with legs) on my dining room table to dry some of my herbs. It works well!
Hibiscus flower is another gold standard for tea! 😍😍
Too much hibiscus and I start to loose my mind

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Need to pick my borage flowers today....great video!!!❤
It's a great time to be foraging and dehydrating and storing up beautiful drinks for the coming months. Inspired!
Thank you ❤

@@cynthiafisher9907 lol thank you for the info. I was rushing to finish the comment posted because I was getting a phone call. Lol
Thank you Rachel. I am inspired to start gathering wild herbs!
Loved this! I’d really like to see more tea videos, thanks for the ideas!
Thank you Rachel..I'm always learning!! Ox from.NH
Thanks for this! I'll have to get foraging again next year. I find the hardest to pick are my raspberry leaves...LOL. Rasperries, yummm, and I feel like I'm stealing their solar panels when I take leaves. Isn't it lovely creating a pretty tea that is so nourishing to our bodies?
Thanks for sharing! I hope you share many more herbal teas with us!❤

I like this kind of video Rachel. I believe you were going to share some research places but I'm not seeing them.
Oh my gracious, absolutely stunning, Rach!👑🙌 SO excited for ALL the tea recipes! They're must haves!😊 THANK YOU!!!! 🤗💗
so excited to see more about this process...
Note book in hand. ❤
love love love this video!! I have everything to make this tea..but mine is all crushed up...how do I know how much to use? I would like to make a bulk jar like you did but I am a bit lost :(
Love the idea of these, but I have none of this…..I know if I just go look for them! Lol. I am going to try and grow chamomile!
I’d love to learn how to forage more. Especially mushrooms. I just found out I’m not supposed to have lemon balm, because of my thyroid & autoimmune diseases 😐
Thank you Rachael 🌺
I am liking your tea series

What part do you use?
@@michelewilliams6241 I use just the flower.
Did you grow the horse tail??that yea looks pretty
Can you find the herbs like horsetail and nettle wild?
😆 Rachel, you are really funny (& concerned). We got hurt really badly when the camera fell, hehehe 😅 😜 😆
Have You tried basil tea? There’s actually lemon basil cinnamon basil both of which make the most amazing tea and basil is so good for you I actually mix the lemon basil with the cinnamon basil and peppermint together which makes the most wonderful tea in the health benefits are amazing
No, haven't yet.
Very helpful!!
To replace the strawberry leaves, could I dehydrate the strawberry tops that I cut off?
Help, I've fallen and can't get up
😂
Is the horse tail something that you planted or foraged for And is it can you find it around here?
Wonderful video. Always looking for help with hot flashes
You might have said this and I missed it, but I think it’s important to stress that herbs are not without possible dangers and people shouldn’t just willy-nilly use them in whatever quantities without doing research, even if you have no health issues.
You look really pretty in that blouse!
Excellent !!!
Blessings +++!!!
Where do I find more recipes for teas? Or just wing it? - Thanks! Leona
thank you for this i noticed you said raspberry leaves when dumping in but i believe you said strawberry at first? which leaf did you have
Raspberry
Rachel, when you use rose hip, how would you break up, or would you just use whole?
I would muddle it
Where do you purchase your medicinal seeds from?
More tea blends please!
Do you wash your strawberry leaves or mint leaves before drying them?
only if they're dirty.
If anyone has a mango do not trash the skin boil it in water and you have a good healthy tea I made it delicious or make mango lemonade
Same with banana peels
That is so beautiful.
So fun Wish I was your Neighbor sitting on you porch with a cup
Of tea
❤
Lol thats funny I’m ok thanks.😊
What can be used in place of raspberry leaves? I can't have anything raspberry.
Just omit it
Raspberry leaves are primarily for hot flashes. Black Cohosh would be an excellent substitute or addition if hot flashes are your concern.
Min 12: 20..... sorry Rach I'm drunk. Couldn't keep it together. Lol
♥♥♥
Where did you get all the herbs from. Were they all on your property?
Yes all from our property
Am I missing your gardening videos this year or are you just not gardening? I miss those videos
This is a sabbath year for our garden this year. The 7th year. Gardening will be back in the fall when we plant garlic, and full force again next year.
Not OK Rachel, what happened to your reflexes? You let the 📸 hit the floor. Bet that 🤱 😢
