Tea Time!

I really love a cup of hot tea with honey and lemon!

This summer I set about making my own tea blend with herbs already growing in my garden.  You can make a tea from almost any herb you can grow, and I think I've found a winning combination.

Lemon balm, bee balm, lemon basil, holy basil, and blue hyssop leaves were dried in the dehydrator.  Then I added dried lemon, orange, and ginger to the mix.

Bagged them up in cotton tea bags, 

and they're all set to enjoy this winter!

That is, if winter ever comes!

Today's heat index in south Texas was 109...

I guess I could always enjoy this tea over ice!

LOTS of ice!
