My raspberry bush- I add leaves. You can't taste the leaves, but it's good for your digestive system.
Here is my mint. You can add spearmint, peppermint, and I just learned chocolate mint!! I've also heard catnip- but not tried that yet 😀
Here is my lavender I use for my tea.
Sometimes I add lemon balm- but not today.
My mom taught me to take the leaves off the stem so your tea doesn't get bitter.
I also add a mint tea bag. I like Boston Mint because that is what my mom
Used when we were little. You can use ANY tea you want. Play around- use mint, fruit flavor, black, green- get creative!!!
I run my iced tea machine
Once my first batch is complete then I pour that tea into another pitcher and run it all again. You can get 2--3 batches of iced tea with one set of leaves and bags. If you don't have extra pitchers- save a milk jug and wash it REALLY well!! Or an Orange Juice container. Those are handy to put extra tea in.
My second batch I added some of this lavender mint tea I bought in Oregon
Now I've got some amazing tea for the week-okay, that tea may only last 2-3 days
