Hi there :) I have hit the jackpot here! Love your site, love your stuff! I drink a lot of peppermint tea and happen to have an excess of leaves on hand as well as some delicious apricots (lots-received as a gift). So I was looking for inspiration and was rewarded with this awesome recipe. I can already taste this dish!!! YUM... Can't wait to make it :) Thank you so much guys...will be back regularly! Oh, and SallyBR, thanks for the link to that cookbook. I'm going to check it out too!

Darlene, what a lovely site this is...all of it! From your beautiful pictures, recipes, information. You document everything beautifully. I love to learn something new every day. Today, I learned about tea pets! I love the figurines, the story behind them and the reason to have one. I never knew. Must get one asap :) Would love to share a cup of tea with you one day! Marilyn, the current scandal is so involved. From climate change to wages to deforestation, definitely trying times. You can get a lot of information on the subject by googling "what challenges is the tea industry facing?" You'll be reading for a while, lol. Thanks again, Darlene, for this great site!!!

Loved reading this and you have posted some awesome pictures! Lucky kids :) Definitely agree with Lois about researching and educating yourself first (as you did) especially when unfamiliar with the herbs. Hilarious that the kids ate the rose hips, but totally understandable :) mecala www.elegantserenity.com

Hi Aenne :) Just wanted to say that I am enjoying your lovely site, and now that I have discovered it, I intend to stop by every now and then. I'll have a lovely cup of tea in my hand as I sit back and relax while doing so. Like you, I love my herbal teas. I usually try to have a cup of chamomile in the evenings. Tea definitely does bring moments of grace to our chaotic lives!
