Dandelion leaves, lemon balm, violets, nettles, red clover, and a touch of lavender.
A bit of boiling hot water, steep, and enjoy a cup on this cool day.
It’s the first infusion of the year from fresh herbs from the yard.

Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.   <div align="center"><a href="http://www.amothersjournal.com" title="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong"><img src="http://www.innatelygray.com/images/abitofbirdsong_120_200.jpg" alt="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong" style="border:none;" /></a></div>    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Ah-ha! So….that’s how you make an infusion! I’ll certainly be attempting this– once our herbs begin to pop out!
Have a wonderful Friday!

Hi, Michele. Yes, you pour very hot water over them (I let my water come to a boil in a whistling tea kettle) and let them steep as a tea bag. Then strain into a cup. I have a lot of books about herbs and herbal medicine, and of course the info I gleaned from my time working with a local herbalist.
