You thought that this was going    to be something mystical and symbolic, didn’t you?  Oh come on,  yes you did.  No, these  are real tea recipes.  I love to write tea recipes.  I haven’t put quantities because that’s up to you, based on your own taste (except for hibiscus, which should be used in moderation because it will really make your mouth pucker up) . 

Most of these herbs can be grown in your own garden or purchased from health food stores on on the internet.  Each of these is a little better with some honey. I hope you enjoy these.
