Oh, @Shades-of-Oregon , you are coming very close to my licorice root, lemon verbena and anise hyssop tea.

Monarda and anise hyssop are both of the Lamiaceae family.

And, you remind me that I need to get out today and harvest the anise hyssop. It seems absolutely determined to bloom and I am trying to make use of those stems. If I wait too long, the small flowers fall apart. Harvesting has become a weekly mission.

Lamb's ear tea, made from the leaves of the Stachys Byzantine plant which has in my garden for years . The fuzzy leaves dry the same size and don’t shrink up like other herbal tea preps. Health benefits like sore throats and colds .
