Herbal tea making is just as much of an art as it is a science~

Herbal infusions provide the best way to get acquainted with a new herb. You take note of the texture and color of the leaves and flowers as you measure and breathe in the aroma as the herb is unfurling in the hot water.

As you relax with your cup of tea, color, taste, aroma all will signal when an herbal brew is "just right" for you.

What's in your cup? :)

Salvia officinalis - Sage

Its Latin name is Salvare, "to be saved."
The Romans cherished this herb known to them as herba sacra, used to cure snakebites, depression and sterility and to promote long life.
Sage has always held a magical aura most likely stemming from its unique healing and curative properties that were not fully understood long ago.

The story of the Four Thieves Vinegar tells of the virulent plague that swept through Toulouse. Four thieves roamed freely among the sick pilfering what they wanted without fear of becoming infected. When finally captured they were sentenced to death. They were offered their lives for the secret formula that spared them the evils of the plague.
A solution of thyme, lavender, rosemary, and - most importantly sage, that had been infused in vinegar had been rubbed over their bodies before entering the homes of the ill.

Sage is among the best herbal choices for killing bacteria, but it is also amazing for culinary uses. Italian cooks have used it for centuries to add a flavorful and healthful kick to vegetable and meat dishes.
Americans all know sage from our traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinners. What would the holiday be like without the pungent scent of sage stuffing wafting through the air making our mouths water for the feast to come?

Get to know Sage and grow this wonderful perennial herb in your garden. Not only is it very useful in many ways, but it is a beautifully decorative addition to your landscape and grows in many variations of color and scent. To your health!
