i didnt know you followed! and im usually quite boring. i was just having a glorious moment about chamomile at who knows what time in the morning and decided to write it up. someday maybe ill make a professional blog, if i end up with enough posts about plants. then i can copy paste all of this into there :) (who knew i could write interestingly - not me)
yes i think a professional blog is a great idea. let me know if you want my help setting it up of course :). and im sure you know i think you should monetize it. IMO.
Holy crap I think my chamomile tea is going to see a whole lot more use in the near future. Are regular tea bags also good? I don't have חליטות. I only have mint חליטות.
:) yay! thats the point! oh, and theres a whole bunch of uses i didnt type up, too. chalita, infusion, herbal tea, its all the same. The words mean: boil some water and pour it over some plant matter. I prefer loose because its usually a bit fresher. you never know how long ago those tea bags contents were picked and dried. the key with herbs is to smell them. the stronger and better they smell, the stronger and better they will taste and work. Regular tea bags are fine, i'm just spoiled, and have the shuk where i buy it loose.
Interesting... I've never really liked the taste of chamomile tea but it sounds like maybe I should try and revise that opinion. Where can you get chamomile leaves in Israel?
actually, im not sure i like the taste, either. it tastes bitter, to me. but i love the smell. you can also mix it with some other herb that you DO like the taste of, and make a mixed tea. either way, its also great used only topically. chamomile tea is actually made with the FLOWERS of the chamomile plant. thats part of the reason it's so fragrant. They are golden yellow, and you can buy them dried at a shuk or almost anywhere you can buy loose spices, or you can resort to the boxed tea method. wissotzky sells a plain chamomile (babonag) tea that as far as i know has nothing else in it. have fun!
it kind of felt like it as i was writing it. i think i've been reading too many articles about medicinal plants lately, im starting to write like them. oh yeah, and just wait until my next herb post. its going to be about ginger :)
