This BB request is for Horsetail, but I could not see an active link for it. Anyways, I found these little stalks alongside a stream while camping. So excited, too! Because the horsetail near me is all mature and tough.

My kids and I harvested it, and made an infusion out of it. Pictured are the drinking cup we made, with wild lettuce added in, but we also made an oil infusion for turning into a toothpaste eventually. 😃 mint was added to this oil infusion.

I made a delightful lavender infusion.  Clipped some blossoms along with some mint.  I had a honey jar that was finished except for the little bits you can't get out of the jar and I like to make herbal teas to use up the little scraps of honey.  After bottling, I've been drinking it over ice -- so cool and refreshing.

Steeping. You can see some of the lavender blossoms floating on the mint. This is the used honey jar.
