DIY tea
Hello, friends!
This summer I am going to make my tea. Assemble, prepare and dried in an oven. What do you think is a good idea?
Homebrew experiments are fun! I’ve grown my own mint varieties for a couple of summers now. (I hand-dry in bundles hung upside down rather than in an oven.)
do you mean you want to make your own herbal drinks? or you are growing actual tea plants?
It will not contain caffeine.
I’ve noticed that I can not feel very well if I drink coffee or caffeine-containing beverages.
I love herbal teas. Fragrant, healthy teas.
About the experiment I’m going to write here.
besides the herbs i grow for cooking, i also have been growing some other herbs for blending herbal drinks. i start with store bought chamomile and add things like mint and basil and rose petals, etc etc. its fun.
I’ve looking into growing my own camellia sinensis… end result was the shear volume I’d have to grow and all the equipment to process it the way I would want it to be done just isn’t an option right now.
They grow tea in places like Scotland and Michigan so it isn’t outside of the realm of possibility. You’d definitely need a large number of plants to get a decent harvest though.
