Verbena Mint Tea

A soothing hot beverage, this Verbena Mint Tea is a favourite of mine before bed. The preparation is part, I feel, of the calming ritual! Happy Saturday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 ½ tablespoon dried lemon verbena leaves and flowers (Aloysia citrodora)

250 millilitres/1 cup cold water

a dozen leaves fresh mint

Spoon dried lemon verbena into a small saucepan. Pour in cold water. Heat over a low flame until just simmering.

Meanwhile, crush mint leaves with a pestle in a mortar, to extract their oils and flavour.

Stir crushed mint leaves into the pot.

Remove from the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer, 10 minutes.

Return over a low flame, and bring to a slow boil. 

Remove from the heat and strain Verbena Mint Tea into serving cup.

Enjoy Verbena Mint Tea hot.

Last night I didn't have best night of sleep, I woke up several times during the night, but weirdly enough I haven't felt super sleepy during the day. I definitely struggled a bit with focusing on what I was studying, but it's also quite dense as a chapter, so I think I would have struggled anyway. Studying aside, I am now almost half way into A House With Good Bones, and I am enjoying it so much. In these weeks I have been loving T. Kingfisher's horror so much that I kinda feel like giving a second change to Nettle And Bone. I had listened to the audiobook of that novel when it got out and I didn't love it. The idea was cool but there were a couple of things that I really didn't like, and for some reason those are the only things I remember (chicken posessed by a demon aside, how could I forget that, it stole my heart). So maybe in the future I might give that book a second chace, who know. At the moment all I can say is that I really really like her horro books and I want more.

Using Candles to Help Open Your Spiritual Path. 🔥🕯

Candle meditation or candle magick is represented by fire energy and the earthly element of fire. The light that exudes from a flame is the energy of motivation, action and movement following passion and intention. Fire element is used in practices and rituals that will help create motion in what you are trying to accomplish whether that be falling into a meditative peaceful state for meditation and relaxation, putting intentions into the universe so it could be set into play for manifestation or being the light within the dark when diving into the unknown to find answers.

Whether you are already practicing and opening your spiritual path by candle burning or whether you are new into and want to start working with candles and using them a tool to help on your path in life. Here are some different ways to work with magick to accomplish what it is you have your mind set on. These can be used for everyday situations, ritual practices or magical practices.

Meditation practice for relaxation

Helpful tools:

* Candle any type and any color will do but a white candle or a lavender color candle would help set the mood and energy.

* Candle holder to set the candle on or any flat surface you don't mind have wax drippings on.

* dried herbs ( rosemary, lemon verbena, lotus, or chamomile. ) You can use all these herbs or you can choose a single dried herb if you want.

* Oil Here you can use any type of oil to dress your candle such as grapeseed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil. You can also create a special oil by mixing the herbs with the oil and letting them set for a few hours. The longer you let it set the more potent it is. You can use this as your go to dressing when you decide to use a candle for meditation.

* Clear Quartz stone and Amethyst stone

* incense (optional) this is represented by the element of air. Air is what represents information, communication and wisdom. If you are trying to receive information or answers to something using incense can help bring you information you need.

Find a quiet space within your home or a place in nature that has light traffic. Just any place that you a capable to sit relax and light your candle without any interruptions.

Apply a bit of the oil on your fingers and lightly spread it on the candle. Sit your candle on the candle plate or a flat surface.

Lay the dried herbs around the candle on the plate and lay a small layer of herbs on the top of candle around the wick. And light the candle.

Sit in a comfortable position and place the Clear Quartz in your left hand and the Amethyst in your right hand.

As you close your eyes ask the universe to bring peace and tranquility upon you. And repeat.

Clear your mind and do not hold any thoughts that come to you. Release them as you repeat bring peace and tranquility upon you.

Breathe slowly. Repeat this for a few minutes til it becomes easier to clear your mind and your thoughts.

Once you have done that remain in that peaceful quiet state and allow your mind to swim in the nothingness til you feel at ease and relaxed.

Once you have reached your stopping point open your eyes. And blow the candle out. And enjoy the peace and tranquility.

Guidance and wisdom on your spiritual path

Helpful tools:

* Candle ( deep purple, yellow , blue preferrably)

* Dried herbs ( chamomile, lotus, ginger root or rosemary)

* Oil

* Toothpick or something that you are able to carve the candle with

* Small bowl of water to place the candle in.

Find a quiet room or space. Make sure it is not too windy if you decide to sit out in nature.

Lay the small bowl down and fill it with water about an inch high and set the candle in the water.

Use the toothpick or sharp object of your choice and carve your initials into the candle.

Once you have carved your initials. On the opposite side of the candle, carve the purpose. Do you need guidance in love, career, family, friendships, creativity? Carve into the candle. It can just be a single word. If you just want general guidance do not carve a purpose.

Use the oil and dress the candle. Making sure to get into the carved areas of the candle.

After you apply the oil, you can apply the herbs two different ways. You can rub it on with your hands, or you can place the herbs in your hand and blow it on the candle.

Light the candle and sprinkle a few herbs in the flame while asking what it is you are seeking guidance towards In your life.

Close your eyes and think about what you are seeking and repeat out loud or in your head.

Keep your eyes closed. After you have spoken what it is you are seeking pay attention the images that come to you as you concentrate on what you are asking for.

Images, numbers, animals, and people may pop up in your head. Research and understand these symbols and apply to your life.

How do you make fabric from plants?

There are some basic steps to using natural fibers. First, the fibers are collected and cleaned, and then they are arranged so that they all point in the same direction. Twisting the fibers together makes a strong yarn. Finally, using tools or machines, people weave or knit the yarn together to make fabric.

So you can take flower stems and turn them into paper!!!

To make paper from flower stems, you need to harvest the stems, cut them into small pieces, cook them in a caustic solution to break down the fibers, then blend them into a pulp which can be used to form paper sheets on a screen; essentially, you're turning the plant fibers into a watery mash that can be molded into paper.

Key steps:

Choose the right flowers:

Select flowers with strong, fibrous stems like roses, sunflowers, or hibiscus.

Harvesting:

Cut the stems into manageable lengths.

Preparation:

Cleaning: Rinse off any dirt or debris.

Cutting: Chop the stems into small pieces, ideally around 1-2 inches long.

Cooking process:

Caustic solution: Prepare a solution of water and a cooking agent like soda ash or lye.

Simmering: Boil the stem pieces in the caustic solution for a period of time to break down the cellulose fibers.

Rinsing: Thoroughly rinse the cooked fibers to remove any chemicals.

Making pulp:

Blending: Blend the cooked fibers with water in a blender until a fine pulp is formed.

Papermaking:

Molding: Spread the pulp evenly onto a screen or mold to form a sheet.

Drying: Allow the paper sheet to dry completely.

Important considerations:

Safety:

Always handle caustic chemicals with care and follow proper safety procedures.

Experimentation:

Different types of flowers may produce varying paper qualities, so try different varieties to find the best results.

Mixing with other fibers:

To improve the strength and texture of your paper, you can mix flower stem pulp with recycled paper pulp.

Also, flowers can be used to make different forms of fertilizer!!!

Yes, flowers can be used to make fertilizer in a compost pile or bin. You can also make your own fertilizer by combining organic scraps like eggshells, fruit peels, and coffee grounds with leaves, sticks, and other debris. Over time, microbes will break down the pile into fertilizer that can be mixed into the soil.

Here are some other things to consider when fertilizing flowers:

Types of fertilizer

There are several types of fertilizer for flowers, including granular chemical, water soluble, and organic. Controlled-release fertilizers are also known as continuous feed, slow-release, or timed-release.

When to fertilize

You should stop fertilizing flowers in the fall when the plant is preparing to go dormant.

How to apply fertilizer

For established plantings, spread the fertilizer evenly around the plants and rake it into the soil. Water thoroughly after applying fertilizer.

Nitrogen types

The type of nitrogen used in fertilizer can affect plant growth. Ammoniacal nitrogen can cause plants to stretch and produce soft growth, while nitrate nitrogen can produce compact, firm growth.

N-P-K ratio

For most flowering plants, a balanced growth ratio is close to 1-2-1.

These include granular chemical fertilizers, which may or may not be controlled-release, water soluble fertilizer and organic fertilizers. Controlled-release fe...

Sip Your Way to Wellness with Greek Mountain Herbal Tea and Superherbs

When it comes to the world of herbal teas, Greece has a treasure trove of ancient wisdom and natural remedies to offer. With its picturesque mountains and rich biodiversity, Greece has given birth to a remarkable tradition known as Greek Mountain Herbal Tea, brewed from a fascinating assortment of herbs affectionately dubbed "Greek Superherbs." Let's explore this centuries-old elixir and uncover the hidden gems within.

A Taste of Tradition: Greek Mountain Herbal Tea

Greek Mountain Herbal Tea, affectionately called "Tsai tou vounou" in Greek, is more than just a beverage; it's a cultural tradition and a therapeutic journey. Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Greek mountains, a unique assortment of herbs and plants flourish, each offering its own distinct flavor and medicinal properties.

What makes Greek mountain herbal tea stand out is its remarkable therapeutic potential. These herbal brews are designed not only to tantalize your taste buds but also to harness the potent healing properties of these wild-grown herbs. Let's embark on a sensory exploration of some of the Greek superherbs commonly used in these teas.

1. Mountain Tea (Sideritis): This is the superstar of Greek Mountain Herbal Tea. Sideritis, a plant native to the Mediterranean, is renowned for its high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It's often sipped to boost the immune system, ward off colds, and promote overall well-being. The tea's earthy flavor is both comforting and invigorating.

2. Greek Sage (Salvia fruticosa): Greek Sage is prized for its aromatic qualities and its ability to enhance memory and cognitive function. It's a soothing yet revitalizing addition to your tea collection.

3. Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citriodora): This herb adds a refreshing citrusy note to Greek mountain teas. It is cherished for its digestive benefits and its ability to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

4. Oregano (Origanum vulgare): Oregano, not just a pizza topping, boasts antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. In your Greek mountain tea, it adds zest and acts as a natural remedy for sore throats, coughs, and respiratory discomfort.

5. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): Chamomile is universally admired for its soothing and calming effects. Greek chamomile tea is your go-to choice for unwinding, improving digestion, and alleviating stress.

Brewing Your Greek Mountain Herbal Tea

Brewing a cup of Greek mountain herbal tea is an artful yet simple process. Here's a quick guide to enjoying this delightful elixir:

Ingredients:

1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs or a tea bag (pick your favorite Greek superherb)

8 ounces (240 ml) of hot, but not boiling, water

Instructions:

Boil water and let it cool for a minute.

Place the herbs or tea bag in a cup.

Pour hot water over the herbs.

Cover and steep for 5-10 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

Remove the herbs or tea bag.

Add honey or a slice of lemon for extra flavor, if desired.

Savor your Greek mountain herbal tea hot or let it chill for a refreshing iced version. It's a simple yet potent way to embrace the health benefits of Greek superherbs.

The Health Benefits of Greek Mountain Herbal Tea

Greek mountain herbal tea isn't just about taste; it's about a holistic approach to well-being. By incorporating these teas into your daily life, you can enjoy a multitude of health benefits, including:

Immune Support: Packed with antioxidants, these teas can fortify your immune system.

Digestive Aid: They are known for their digestive properties, making them a perfect post-meal choice.

Stress Relief: These teas are your allies in stress reduction and anxiety management.

Respiratory Health: Herbs like mountain tea and oregano can help you combat colds and respiratory discomfort.

Cognitive Function: Some herbs, such as Greek Sage, are believed to enhance memory and cognitive abilities.

Emotional Balance: St. John's Wort, often included in these teas, can offer emotional equilibrium and well-being.

In Conclusion

Greek Mountain Herbal Tea, brewed from the remarkable Greek superherbs, isn't just a beverage; it's a holistic journey through nature's medicine cabinet. These teas offer an aromatic and flavorful way to embrace the Mediterranean's therapeutic gifts while enjoying a warm cup of liquid tranquility. So, why not take a sip and experience the soothing, healing magic of Greek Mountain Herbal Tea for yourself? Your taste buds and your well-being will thank you.

Current read and all the jars of lemon verbena I dried.

01|08|2023

Today was truly a chill day, I was busy all day but it was fine. I got plenty of rest too which is always great. I was hoping to finish by today my task of storing the dried herbs but I didn't have enough jars. We eneded up with 25 jars of different sizes which is great! My chill but busy days have been filled with a lot of thinking, but mostly constructive and not negative thinking thankfully. For the last while I have been really in the mood to get a new tattoo, and in the past couple of weeks the thought has become stronger and stronger. I have a couple designs in mind and I am pretty sure about which one will be my next one, but as usual before talking to my artist I want to have all details planned out for when I ask her what I want. If the feeling persists I might contact her at the end of summer and get an appointment for this autumn/early winter. You'll probably hear more rambling on the topic in the next while.

Chill hobbit summer activities of today:

Read first thing in the morning

Watered my garden and cleaned it up of the fallen fruit

Went on a morning walk with my dad

Finished storing in jars the lemon verben I have dried (I still have to put away the mint but alas I finished the jars so tomorrow I'll have to by a few more to put that away)

Took some time to color on my tablet (I haven't done that in a while and it was very relaxing)

Started listening and got caught up with the Ethics Town podcast (I was supposed to listen to the first episode after a friend suggested in but then I really needed to know more of the story and long story short I listened to the whole thing while I was coloring)

Checked a couple of things for my holidays with my parents

"I can make us some tea, if you'd like." Reaching up into the cabinet, Katrina takes out her little bags of dried leaves, each simply labeled with black marker. All harvested from the little plants that rest on windowsills and countertops around her apartment. Lemon verbena, tulsi, mint, chamomile, lavender. There are a few packaged teas in there too, but she likes these best.

"Now, what brings you here?"
