They do make for easy and enjoyable teas.n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369954553919919919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-85958955905055116322018-03-19T22:48:36.617-04:002018-03-19T22:48:36.617-04:00I haven't yet.

Having mint is a must! My Mexican grandmother always had it growing, she called it yerba buena, translated it's good plant. If we had a tummy ache she put a few sprigs into water to boil then served it warm with a little sugar and milk. It did the job of soothing us. I've served it to friends who prefer no caffeine tea and they enjoy it. You will love it, even without sugar and milk.<br /><br />Donna Kohlerhttp://donnakohler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-48682276929299100612018-03-19T19:49:52.254-04:002018-03-19T19:49:52.254-04:00Good luck with your herbs!

But if I did have outdoor gardening space, I wouldn't have planted any herbs yet, as we've had a cold March and are predicted to have snow the next two days!<br />--from Vernona in DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-2460452272084446032018-03-19T07:41:14.577-04:002018-03-19T07:41:14.577-04:00The threat of frost has not passed here, in fact i...The threat of frost has not passed here, in fact it is supposed to be 27 degrees Weds. night. We don't usually plant outside until after Mother's Day. But I think having pots of these herbs is a great idea, I do love fresh mint in iced tea.
