The Big Projects!


Herbal Lemon Tea from Scratch


From Scratch...  I use that term a lot, so now I'm going to go all out.  Literally from scratching in the earth to start seeds, documenting their germination times, planting, growing conditions, solving problems (um, aphid removal and the like), harvesting and preparing.  Growing herbs, fruits and vegetables aren't the only items I'll be writing about.

For the last several months I've been learning to grow my own fermented drinks and vegetables. Kombucha is a delicious beverage, something like a cola when made with the right herbs, fizzy and a bit sweet over ice.  But unlike cola, it's actually very healthy!  Fermented pickles and vegetables will be showing up in this area too.

This recipe for creating a  herbal lemon tea from scratch is the first, but expect more in the near future. Among other Big Projects, I'll be starting Tulsi, or Holy Basil seeds next month, and documenting their progress, from seedlings to a beautifully steeped herbal tea.

I'll be writing about growing your own mint from supermarket cuttings.  It makes an excellent tea.
