Cup of tea - PEP BB foraging.sand.tea

I took a walk and foraged pineapple weed, clover, and rose petals for my cup of tea. Tastes like early summer!

I made a cup of pineapple weed tea, and was totally unprepared for how delicious it was. I'm including these pictures:

- A picture of one of the plants in the wild
- A picture of the harvested goods with the remaining plant in the background
- A picture of the yummy tea in a cup

It's a little late in the season for it now but I made nettle tea, I've previously had nettle tea from a company that sells it but never had fresh nettle tea. It was slower to steep than I expected, and tasted a bit... green I think I prefer dried though it could be that I'm picking it at a sub optimal time

Today I learned I like nettle tea way more than sautéed nettles. Oddly, I find it smells kind of like oatmeal.

I made some pine needle tea. I found this tree in a local park. In the UK, it's legal to forage in parks as long as the plant isn't in a garden bed (purposely planted) or in a royal park (such as Greenwich or Richmond). I found this tea much nicer than the dandelion tea I tried earlier this year.
