Guest guest Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 This is marvellous news, Margret. ))) I have indeed kept the herbal brew separate from my basic (green/black tea) brew. I've mixed into the herbal brew: green tea, black tea (about 50%), hibiscus/nettle/parsley & cornsilk (40%), and Earl Grey (10%). The resulting liquid is dark pink (because of the hibiscus), which was quite alarming <LOL>. I am assuming that the resulting SCOBIES will be light pink <Hee>! However, I shall be keeping this brew and SCOBIES for myself and not passing them onto friends and family (I've kept a container to produce SCOBIES especially for friends and family, using a green/black tea mix), as it might give them the wrong impression of what they should be aiming for. The SCOBIES you gave me are doing wonderfully. I must say, since I introduced your SCOBIES, my brews have been much stronger and yummy. I am so pleased. I've just created an album (waiting to be approved by the group mods) called Pangie's Brews. Since I am a newbie to brewing Kombucha, I thought it might give those who are also new to it, a different perspective on things. Thanks for your advice.... it is always most welcome and informative.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 25 years ago I was very interested in Alchamy, you can make a cup of tea that contain the same 2000 cups. Very interesting. Love and light Munk Nielsen http://www.lysetskilde.com On Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:19 , mysticpleiadian <mysticpleiadian@...> sent: It's really fun and inexpensive to make your own tea. You can start simple and use one herb in a tea, then move on to many herbs in one tea. It's also interesting once you start making teas with more than one herb because the taste will vary on each recipe you try. To make tea, you need: - cheese cloth or tea ball - herbs - cup of hot water Take a small square of cheese cloth, place the herbs in the middle, gather the ends and tie them with string. Or just place them in a tea ball. But, before using, you should charge the tea if using it in any magical way. Just imagine the appropriate energy, for example, if drawing love and friendship into your life see yourself with friends or a boy/girl friend. See your self happy and having fun with these people. Draw the energy from the earth, into your feet through your arms and out your finger tips into the herbs. When they are charged, place the tea into the cup of hot water, let it steep and drink! Here are some recipes: Headache Tea Lavendar Chamomile Rosemary Mint Sleep Tea 2 Tbsp of hops 1 tsp. of lavender, rosemary, thyme, mugwort and sage 1 Tbsp. chamomile and wintergreen 1 pinch of valerian root (be careful to avoid getting a whiff of it!) Calming Tea 1 part sage 1 part thyme 1 part marjoram 1 part chamomile Tea For Insomnia 50 g Cowslip 25 g Lavender 10 g St. 's Wort 15 g Hops cones 5 g Valerian roots Friendship Tea 2 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup Tang orange drink 1 cup instant tea 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 3/4 tsp. ground cloves Relaxation Infusion 2 parts lemon balm 1 part chamomile 1/2 part catnip 1/2 part skullcap 1/2 part passionflower 1/4 part St. 's Wort 1/4 part lavender Mix. Boil. Sweeten if necessary. Drink. Bed Time Tea 1 part Linden flowers leaves 1 part Oatstraw 1/2 part Chamomile 1/4 part Lavender Colds and Flu Tea 1 oz Blackberry leaves 1 oz Elder flowers 1 oz Linden flowers 1 oz Peppermint leaves Pour 1 cup boiling water over 2 tbs mixture. Cover steep 10 minutes; strain. Headaches and Anti-depressive Pour 2 cups of boiling water over three teaspoons dried primrose flowers and leaves. Let stand, covered, about 15 minutes. Strain and sweeten. Drink hot or warm. Dream Tea 1 part peppermint 1 part mugwort leaves 1 part damiana leaves 1 part chamomile flowers 1 part gota kola leaves 1 part rosemary leaves 1 part rose petals Communicate with Faeries Tea 1 part elder flower 1 part lemon thyme 1 part rose hips 1 part yarrow 1 part lemon grass Happy Stomach Tea 1 part catnip 1 part spearmint lemongrass leaves 1 part calendula flowers 1 part skullcap 1 part rosemary sage leaves 1 part fennel seeds Insomnia Tea 1 ½ oz dried Vervain leaves 1 oz Chamomile ½ oz Spearmint Relieve Stress Tea 1 part chamomile 1 part mint 1 part calendula flowers Mentally Refreshing Tea 1 part ginkgo 1 part gotu kola and peppermint leaves 1 part red clover tops 1 part rosemary leaves 1 part ginger root Concentration Tea 1 part Celendula 1 part mint, 1 part sage (flowers only) 1 part yarrow leaves Upset Stomach Tea Peppermint leaves Lemon Balm leaves Fennel seeds Soothing Tea 1 part mint 1 part hyssop 1 part oregano 1 part parsley 1 part lemon balm Relaxation Tea 2 parts chamomile 1 part lemon balm 1 part lemon peel 1 part thyme Refreshing Tea 1 part rosemary 1 part rosehips 1/2 part hibiscus 1/2 part raspberry 1/2 part blackberry 1/2 part lemon peel Nervousness Tea 1 ½ oz Peppermint leaves 1 ½ oz Lemon Balm leaves The following are meant to be taken as teas. Steep for twelve minutes and drink hot. A small dose of honey can be added to sweeten the brew. -The seeds of anise can increase passions. -A brew of borage may decrease the aches in the joints and limbs. -Seeds from caraway can increase mental stamina. -Fever and chills may be subdued by catnip. -A sour stomach may be tamed by mint. -Headaches can be avoided with an infusion of nasturtium. -Overcome frailty with a strong brew of parsley. -The flowers of the red clover have been known to quell a hot temper. -Sooth nerves with the calming power of rosemary. -Have power over guilt and sorrow with the tea of rue. -Battle depression and mental fatigue with age old sage. -Coughs are soothed with thyme. Bathing; Sprinkle any of the herbs listed below in a warm bath to produce the required results. Relaxing herbs: Chamomile, hops, jasmine, linden flowers, meadowsweet, valerian. Invigorating herbs: Basil, bay eucalyptus, fennel, ivy, lavender, lemon balm, lemon verbena, mint, pennyroyal, pine rosemary sage, tansy, thyme. Healing herbs: Calendula, comfrey, hens and chicks, lady's mantle, spearmint, yarrow. Little Hints and Tips: -I use rosewater as an astringent for my face and hair. Adding rosemary makes it even better. -Infuse rosewater with your will to be beautiful, inside and out, then splash it on your face straight out of the fridge in the morning. It refreshes and helps you stay positive. Plus it smells like the freshness of summertime. -Chamomile is a natural lightener for your hair, and soaking wet teabags placed over the eyes will reduce dark circles under the eye. -Chamomile is also great for prosperity spells. I like to rinse my hands in the tea.(to draw money) It also smells great. Note: Chamomile works best when fresh. You can grow it by simply ripping open a chamomile tea bag and sprinkling it on soil. It makes a beautiful houseplant, but it can be a little finicky. -Yarrow helps promote beauty when kept by your mirror. -I sprinkle rosemary under my doormat, on window sills, and under my bed for protection Here are some herbs and their uses in teas and infusions (an infusion is basically tea that is not drunk, but brewed and sprinkled on or around things. They are steeped in water to release their oils then used to bath in, to sprinkle persons or objects on, etc.) Buchu Tea is brewed and drunk to develop psychic powers.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 St. 's Wart interacts badly with a lot of cancer medicines. St. 's Wart can sensitize your skin too, so if you are out in the sun, you could get a sun burn. It's good that you know this. Keep learning and researching.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Do you know if you have ever had a potassium shortage? When people have a potassium shortage, vinegar tastes good. I always mixed it in water. It would stop tasting good the minute my potassium level was stabilized. If you have a potassium shortage, you will feel very tired. Also, low and low/normal blood pressure will make you feel tired. If you have low or low/normal blood pressure, stay away from goldenseal!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Nancie, I am not sure what you mean? I mentioned green tea earlier as a way to help a person lose weight. Here's some more info on green tea. It really is a miracle food. Blessings, Joy :-) From http://chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa011400b.htm There are as many answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the natural properties of green tea. For example, Herbs for Health magazine cites a Japanese report stating that men who drank ten cups of green tea per day stayed cancer-free for three years longer than men who drank less than three cups a day (there are approximately 240 - 320 mg of polyphenols in three cups of green tea). Meanwhile, a study by Cleveland's Western Reserve University concluded that drinking four or more cups of green tea per day could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis, or reduce symptoms in individuals already suffering from the disease. And Japanese scientists at the Saitama Cancer Research Institute discovered that there were fewer recurrances of breast cancer, and the disease spread less quickly, in women with a history of drinking five cups or more of green tea daily. It gets more confusing. A University of California study on the cancer-preventative qualities of green tea concluded that you could probably attain the desired level of polyphenols by drinking merely two cups per day. On the other hand, a company selling a green tea capsule formula insists that ten cups per day are necessary to reap the maximum benefits. How can you make sense of these conflicting claims? Given all the evidence, it is probably safe to plan on drinking four to five cups of green tea per daily. If you're a real devotee, by all means drink more; but whether or not you'll derive added health benefits remains to be determined by further research. How to Brew a Cup of Green Tea Producing the perfect cup of green tea is a tricky process. If not handled properly, those same polyphenols that provide health benefits can ruin the flavor, making the tea taste "gassy." It's particularly important not to overbrew. While it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for each variety of green tea, here are some general instructions: Use one tea bag, or 2 - 4 grams of tea,* per cup. Fill a kettle with cold water and bring to a boil. After unplugging the kettle, allow it to stand for up to 3 minutes. Pour the heated water over the tea bag or tea, and allow it to steep for up to 3 minutes. If using a tea bag, remove the bag. Allow the tea to cool for three more minutes. *One to two teaspoons, depending on the variety of green tea you are brewing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancie Barnett Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 9:13 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas Well, what about green tea? nancie -------Original Message------- From: Art3 Date: 10/17/2007 6:06:32 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas I can't take grapefruit and grapefruit juice or St. 's Wart if I'm taking Sutent. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancie Barnett Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 4:48 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas so is grapefruit and grapefruit juice. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joyce Hudson Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 4:47 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Herbal Teas Mystic, green tea is excellent to balance the body and help you lose weight.
