Fresh leaves have more flavor than dried ones, so this time of year when I am cutting the Geraniums back before bringing them indoors for winter is a great time to make tea blends with them.

Add the basil, chili powder, and lemon zest last, folding them in only once or twice to distribute evenly. Another great way to get the flavor of scented geraniums into your tea is to make geranium sugar. This time I want to discuss making tea with Scented geraniums. So many folks think they are only for show, but I find they are great to make edibles with. Sign up to our newsletter for herb related news, offers and upcoming events.

Over my years of DIY tinkering I’ve created over a hundred body care, culinary, and green cleaning recipes. Some I love seasonally, others come and go for one reason or another, and some shining stars remain a constant in my everyday life. One member of this VIP list is a “Four Thieves®” multi-surface spray. It’s easy to make, and its versality means that it earns its keep in my natural cleaning supply closet. It also smells fresh and invigorating and cuts grease with the likes of commercially available soaps and sprays.

Alcohol is a great solvent to extract a wide range of healing properties from the plants, creating a concentrated solution whose effects can often be felt on the same day. Stronger effects can usually be felt in about 1–4 weeks. There are also so many health benefits to drinking tea that can’t be denied. Turn the heat up, add the sorrel leaves and a healthy pinch of salt to the pot with the onions and stir well.

The Urban Herbalist is a blog about my adventures traveling the world as a western herbalist in many foreign places. I'm a mother with a very herbal 2 year old, a doula and a wife who addresses all the issues I see on a daily basis. I'm from Northern California, lived in the UK last year and now am in Tanzania for the next couple of years.

Others gain their knowledge from apprenticeships or school programs and tend to focus on teaching their communities about the power of herbs. There are also clinical herbalists who have more extensive training and work with clients on a regular basis in an office setting (whether that's virtual or in-person). Using herbs that are left over from the garden or the grocery to make an herb butter is a great way to make something you can use with the grill. This recipe uses parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme because I have them growing in my garden.
