In this post, I’ll share some materials I use, a bit about how to build your own tea blend, and a few of my favorite tea recipes, along with the benefits of some key ingredients. Links to materials used are in the text sections below. If you are unable to grow or forage ingredients I have also linked some for you. One of the best Christmas gifts my husband has ever given me is a dehydrator. I dry my dandelion root, orange peels, and pretty much anything I forage.

For as long as I can remember, the coming of fall meant I would suffer from my allergies. I always thought that Goldenrod was the culprit. It wasn't until my 40s and allergy testing that I learned it wasn’t Goldenrod, but instead Ragweed. I rejoiced because I had always loved the fluffy, bright yellow blooms.
