Around where I live, the horsetail that grows is a different variety than what I think grows up north its not the arvensus or whatever its called. i think its called also known as Bottle-brush, Horse Willow, Paddock-pipes, Pewterwort, Scouring Rush, Shave Grass and Toad pipe. I'm wondering if this would work for the same preparation of tea. I know that it is also high in silica. has anyone ever been successful with this kind or think it might work?
