Cups of tea - PEA BB foraging.sand.tea

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Foraging.

Getting samples that are clearly identifiable as the desired species is critical and is the hardest part of this BB.  PEA permits the purchase of the plant and focuses on preparing and eating it.

  - There must be at least one sample of each species that is clearly identifiable
      - This could require more than one purchase/acquisition
  - Can be a twofer with PEP foraging BBs
  - Species can be fresh or dried

      - Sassafrass
      - Spice Bush
