After 5 hours of solid cooking pancakes, 4 pans on the go, 17 pints of milk, 62 eggs and god knows how much flour,
Strawberries, bananas, cream, ice cream, maple syrup, golden syrup, lemons, sugar, Nutella, jam and however many other toppings, I am now curled up with a well deserved glass of wine, don’t you just love large families 🤣😘

My church has no windows, shutters or doors
It has no ceilings, walls or floors

My Gods are the moon, the stars and the sun
My blessings the signs of life just begun

My church is the earth, my spirit is mine
My mother is Nature, my father is Time

Last two teas for now, 2 of my favourites for relaxation

Wildflower Tea
Just brings the summer smells and feels to your day
A combination of meadowsweet, elder flower, rose petals, marshmallow root, lavender and German chamomile

This tea blend recipe blends mugwort with chamomile, butterfly pea flowers, lemon balm, rose petals, rosemary leaf and spearmint leaf to support healthful rest, openness, cerebral activity, and memory to enliven your dreamscape and emotional processing.

Fresh blends versus dried and why I blend for others

I make quite a lot of fresh blends for myself and experiment a lot but I grow herbs, dry my own and have an idea of what does what and which go together which is great, however, most people don’t have the herb garden or cupboard that I have so it can be very confusing.

When I have a bad cough or cold I frequently make up my own remedy, commonly referred to in my family as mums/nanas witches brew 🤣 a big pan on the stove with orange, lemon, ginger, cinnamon sticks, fresh herbs dried herbs and whatever I have to hand that will help, I swear by it and have it with honey in the day and whiskey at night 🙈 I can’t do that for everyone but try to help where I can.

Two teas for this time of year

Thyme Tickle Tea
Great for those tickly coughs that never seem to go made with thyme, mullein, liquorice root, nettle and German chamomile, add a teaspoon of honey to your hot drink for the best results

Marshmallow and Vanilla Tea
To reduce inflammation and irritation for sore throats and dry coughs
As well as vanilla this contains Marshmallow root, leaves and flowers as well as common red poppy, plantain and lime blossom

☕️🧙🧙

My Herbal Blends

Add 1-2 teaspoons, according to taste, to an infuser or pot with a strainer, leave to steep for 5-10 minutes then strain and pour, add honey to taste if wanted, enjoy ☕️

Blends to help sleep,
drink these around 20-30 minutes before you retire for the night.

Sweet Dreams
This blend is good for help with temporary insomnia or just when you feel like a better nights sleep, this consists of passion flower, oat straw, common red poppy, hops and valerian.

Deep Heal
For chronic or long term insomnia the herbs in this blend are safe to use regularly and long term, they include oat straw, nettle, chamomile, lime blossom, Rosemary and lavender.

Blends for Energy & Focus

Mint Motivator
Nettle, spearmint, peppermint, German chamomile & lemon balm.
Light and refreshing, a perfect early morning wakener or mid afternoon pick me up.

Scattered Thoughts Tea
Mid afternoon slump stopping you concentrating, thoughts all over? This is one for you, containing lemon balm, lime blossom, oat straw, German chamomile and meadow sweet

Please note, although there are some herbs that are used in more than one blend the amounts of each herb vary in relation to others depending on the blend ☕️🧙🧙

Simple Teas
Simple Teas are exactly that, 1 herb, infused in water, let it sit for 5-10 minutes then drink.
The herbs pictured are a few of the most commonly known for this and most people have heard of them and wondered if they work.
Just go for it, you may be surprised 🧙🧙

Herbal Tea Blending
Herbal tea blends are used as a refreshing drink like any tea or when certain herbs are combined correctly may help with sleep, energy, digestive or other health issues,
I blend all my teas myself with this in mind.
A lot of beneficial herbal blends are not as pleasant taste wise as you may be accustomed to so I always suggest you check first then sweeten to your taste with honey, try not to use anything metallic with natural honey as this can affect the anti microbial and anti fungal/antiseptic properties 🧙🧙
