yerba santa-holy herb


the bright new sticky leaves of the yerba santa are out and begging to be plucked and made into tea. i gather a few into a glass jar, add some honey, fill with water and set out in the sun for a little while. it makes the most delicious tea!!!! i like it iced (it was nearly 90 degrees today!) especially usefull in the spring and autumn and good for all things bronchial (think decongestant, asthma, allergies, sore throat). abundant in my region of the sierra nevadas, if you want to try some i'll send some your way.
