A real tea practice is not about making a different blend every day. It grows when you come back to the same cup often enough to notice what you like and what you would change.
Maybe it needs a little more herb. Maybe it is too strong. Maybe you realize there is one time of day when making tea fits your life.
Those small observations are where the learning happens.
That is the kind of practice I want to help you build in Herbal Tea 101.

If someone in your house got sick tonight, would y If someone in your house got sick tonight, would you know which herb to reach for?
That’s where the cold season can get stressful. You may have herbs in the cupboard, recipes saved on your phone, and a home apothecary starting to grow, but when someone feels unwell, it’s easy to second-guess what to use.
My friend Rosalee de la Forêt is teaching a free Cold & Flu Season webinar that goes right into this.
She’ll walk you through five herbs to know before you need them and help you understand how to think through your choices when different cold-season symptoms show up.
You’ll also get a free ebook with five recipes you can keep and use at home.
Being prepared doesn’t mean having every herb. It means knowing what you have and feeling more confident about when to reach for it.

Start this before you need it. My Tamari Garlic t Start this before you need it.
My Tamari Garlic takes time to infuse, so this is one of those cold-season recipes I like to make ahead.
A few questions come up every time I share it:
🧄 Do I refrigerate it while it infuses?
- Yes. I keep it in the refrigerator while it infuses.
🧄 Does the garlic need to stay submerged?
- It helps to keep it under the liquid, but I also give the jar a good shake regularly while it infuses.
🧄 How long does it need to infuse?
- You can begin eating the garlic after about a month, but I think it tastes much better after 3 months.
That’s why I like to get a batch going before cold season is fully underway. I build recipes around it!

Start collecting your cold and flu remedies before Start collecting your cold and flu remedies before you need them. 🌿 Here’s another one to add to your home apothecary: Rosemary Tea.
Rosemary is so familiar that it’s easy to overlook as a home remedy. Most of us already have it in the kitchen, and during cold and flu season, that’s exactly where I want my herbs. Close at hand and easy to use.
Rosemary is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal, and it’s also a wonderful circulatory stimulant. It gets the blood moving and brings that warming, stimulating quality that makes it one of my favorite herbs to reach for preventatively and right at the first signs of a cold. I’ve always taught that herbs work best when you know how to use them early, before something has a chance to really settle in.
For this tea, I use a generous amount of rosemary and give it time to steep. It’s simple, strong, and a great example of how much medicine can be sitting right there in your spice cupboard or growing outside your door.

This is one of those jars you should make before y This is one of those jars you should make before you need it.
I make elderberry cordial every year, and there’s usually a bottle around the house during cold season.
Elderberry is the base, but it’s not the only thing that goes into the jar. I also use calendula, rose hips, orange peel, juniper berries, and ginger, then let everything infuse in brandy before I strain and sweeten it.
One of the things I love about cordials is that they don’t have to stay tucked away in the apothecary. I’ve used them in marinades, desserts, fresh fruit, jams, pie fillings, and other things I’m making in the kitchen.
If you like having herbal preparations made ahead of time, this is a good one to keep in your recipe collection.
