I love the scent of garden tea brewing.
I am pleased to now have a gallon and a half of this beautiful liquid gold in our refrigerator.

I cannot remember, I know you posted a LONG time ago Diane making up the tea, if you dry the leaves first?
No, I do not dry the leaves first, but that can be done.
Today I made it the quick way – by putting the washed stalks of tea in boiling water – in kettles large enough for the tea that I cut. Then I turn the heat off and let it steep for 15 minutes. Then I strain the liquid through a cloth covered colander. After letting it cool a bit, I add sugar to taste. I often add a bit of lemonade or lemon flavoring.
The longer way. I remove the leaves from the stalks and put the leaves in boiling water. Turn the heat off and let it sit overnight. Strain the same as above. That will be a much stronger tea and will need water and sugar to taste.
Thanks, Doris. I’ve been planning to make some tea, too, but wasn’t exactly sure how to do it. Now I know!! 🙂
