Sipping Simple: Homemade Herbal Teas

You grew the herbs. Now what?

You planted chamomile and mint, harvested lavender, maybe even foraged some red clover or raspberry leaf. The herbs are dried and sitting in jars. And then… they just sit there.

Most herb growers end up in the same spot — plenty of beautiful, fragrant herbs and no clear idea of what to actually do with them beyond the occasional cup of "I just threw some mint in hot water."

You know there's more to it than that. You just need someone to show you how.

Herbal tea is simpler than you think — and more satisfying than anything from a store.

Sipping Simple is your friendly, practical guide to turning garden-grown, foraged, and pantry herbs into beautiful, flavorful teas you'll actually want to drink every day.
