Living Herbal Tea Kit

Bee balm, Feverfew and Peppermint. Make your own specialty teas from the dried leaves and flowers of these three living herbs! Each makes a delicious tea with its own merits and there are purported health benefits as well:

Bee Balm Tea: A hot or cold infusion makes a soothing beverage. Historically used for the symptom relief of colds, headaches, and gastric disorders, soothing sore throats, nausea.

Feverfew Tea: Similar to chamomile, feverfew sooths the pain of migraine headaches, reduces fevers and the pain of arthritis.

Peppermint Tea: Various healing effects, as a result of the menthol that it contains. It is said to ease such problems as irritable bowel syndrome, nausea, and headaches.

Ideas: Don't forget iced teas this time of year. Bee balm and peppermint added to a pitcher of plain iced tea will make great memories. Peppermint is also useful in Mediterranean dishes, candies, drink recipes and desserts.

Well established plants, 8-12 inches tall, are shipped bareroot for transplanting in your garden or container. These are all perennial plants, as they will come back year after year.
