I’m busting out last fall’s dried hawthorn berries for a project today, and realizing that I cracked them before drying. Fun!
It’s my first time trying this method. Hopefully they will steep faster than intact berries, so they work better in herbal tea blends.
Unsolicited tea recommendation for goth tea lovers, tarot readers, and people who like whiskey in their tea… This Murchie’s number is smoked black tea with roses and fruit (strawberry and black currant). Tea is usually cosy or maybe herbal– this one is moody and horny. I’m having it while weeding the garden on a Saturday afternoon and it is intensely not the right tea for this despite being very delicious 😂
