You’re allowed to change the tea recipe. A recipe You’re allowed to change the tea recipe.
A recipe gives you a place to begin, but after that, you get to pay attention. Do you want it a little stronger? More fennel? Less cumin? Does it taste better to you after dinner than earlier in the day?
Cumin, coriander, and fennel tea is a good one to practice with because it’s gentle and forgiving. It’s traditionally used for digestive comfort, especially after meals, and a small adjustment here or there doesn’t ruin the cup.
That’s when tea making starts to feel easier. You stop worrying about following every recipe perfectly and start learning what works for you.

If fall makes you want soup more often, start with If fall makes you want soup more often, start with these three recipes...
As the weather cools, I start thinking about soup a lot more.
I like having a few recipes I can return to without turning dinner into a big project.
The miso soup is one I make when I want something quick. The mushroom soup is richer and more filling. And the broth starter kits are one of those things I’m always glad I made ahead of time because they make the next pot of soup easier.
🍲 Short on time? Make the miso soup.
🍄 Want something hearty? Make the mushroom soup.
🌿 Want to prep ahead? Make the broth starter kits.
These are all good ones to have in your back pocket for fall and winter.

You’re probably throwing away the tea. The next t You’re probably throwing away the tea.
The next time you shuck corn, take a second look at the silk before it goes into the compost.
Corn silk makes a mild, slightly sweet tea, and it has a long history of use for supporting the urinary tract. You can use it fresh or dry it and save it for later.
I love remedies like this because they remind us that home herbalism doesn’t always start with another trip to the herb shop. Sometimes it starts with noticing what’s already in the kitchen.
🌿 Comment CST26 and I’ll send you the Corn Silk Tea recipe.
✅ Save this for the next time corn is on the menu.
💚 Share this with someone who would never think to save the silk.

Cold-season herbs can do a lot more once you know Cold-season herbs can do a lot more once you know what to make with them.
You might already know elderberry, ginger, sage, or garlic.
But there’s a big difference between recognizing an herb and knowing how to turn it into a preparation you’ll be glad to have when cold season gets busy.
Instead of looking at a shelf of herbs and wondering what to do next, you start building a few preparations you understand and know how to use.
In my Herbs for Cold and Flu Season eBook, I share recipes like Elderberry Fire Cider, No More Colds Cordial, and Sage Herbal Steam so you can see how those herbs move from the cupboard into real home care.
🌿 Comment HCF26 and I’ll send you the guide.
✅ Save this for cold season.

Have you ever looked closely at what’s in your dai Have you ever looked closely at what’s in your daily moisturizer?
For me, herbal skin care starts with paying attention to what I’m putting on my skin every day.
Most conventional body products contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and other ingredients that are hormone disruptors. 
Making your own body butter gives you more control over what goes into it and keeps the ingredient list simple.
Lavender has a long history of use in herbal skin care, and I love combining it with shea butter and beeswax for a rich, soothing body butter that’s easy to make at home.
You don’t have to replace everything in your bathroom at once. Start with one product you use often and learn how to make your own version.
In the first herb class I took with Rosemary Gladstar in 1986, she said, “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.” I have followed that advice for 40 years.
