I am a HUUUUUGE tea fan, and

adore my herbals.

I am really disappointed to read that chamomile is illegal. Gutted. It's

so healing on the CNS and gut lining... is it not? I don't have loose

stools... so is it ok for me to consume before bed?

I stated my reasoning on the chamomile in the post -- and the relation of

chamomile to ragweed mentioned by someone else can be a factor. So often

what we think is healing really isn't.

What about licorice tea?

I don't recommend it. What is your reasoning behind using it?

I am having green tea every

morning for morning tea, and sometimes I mix it with white tea; is white

tea legal? Not black tea with milk, but actual white tea leaves. Higher

in antioxidants than green tea, and less caffeine.

Tea -- black, green, or white, is all from the same bush / tree. It's

legal.

Can I put vanilla extract

(organic) in my teas?

So long as the vanilla extract does not contain illegals.

Can I drink an infusion of

peppermint, spearmint and lemonbalm tea??

The peppermint and spearmint are fine.
