Thank you Bonnie for this sample!!
This tea scared me! for the longest time I avoided it, because a I had never had anything of the sort and b) I didn’t want to mess it up.
Now, that isn’t like me… I’m usually one to try new things so I have no idea what got into me! Every once in awhile I do that, with teas, but oddly never with food. Hmm.
Anyhow, I brewed it up nice and strong so that the flavours really pop. Spicy! Earthy! lemony, oh yup it’s all there. I must have had this before as it’s a familiar taste. Very familiar, only I can’t pinpoint it. Something herbal, I think. I WILL figure that one out! :P

Maybe you’re wary about trying new things because of the baby lol (I kid I kid!)
Look up the name, it’s ancient “Sideritis” good for the immune system, colds,flu, allergies. Greeks drink this and chamomile with lemon and honey. I was given a big tub of this from Greece written in Greek of course from Peter at Church who was born on a Greek Island and thought I would love it (you know how we tea drinkers get a reputation!). I do like it in fact!
Sil: hey my food baby is smaller these days :P
Bonnie: it’s tasty! thanks for sending me some, I quite like it to!!
The little picture was when I was standing on a road in Fira, Santorini (Greece) looking across to the sea.
Oooooooh man! I love this stuff. Makes me glad there’s a Greek deli nearby that carries it. For the best possible effect, take a handful and boil it for about ten or fifteen minutes. Pour it over a strainer into a cup and add honey (Greek honey, especially). It is my second favorite(est) tisane out there.
Exactly Geoffrey! You boil this for 15 minutes usually and that’s it! (This is really good iced too)
I boiled it for about ten min. Ran outta time! lol
