Tuesday Tea

I have lurked around art in red wagon's tuesday teas for quite some time but never made a post for it although I love tea.... until today. I want to show you my tea planter... ( a gift from my Mom)....
there's spearmint....

mint...


lemon thyme.... it smells sooooo good....


stevia and lavender, although the lavender is not doing as well next to the mint and thyme that are taking over.....


So I take a few leaves of each and pour my hot water over top for a delicious tea. I have to make it by the cup now because when I made a whole pot and put it with more water in the fridge for cold tea it was gone VERY quickly as the kids like it, (too much).




YUM!





Thanks for stopping by....

    I've not tried 'fresh' tea before. Which one is your favourite

      I mix them all together, but lemon thyme is my favorite to smell!
