I love tea. Unlike most Texans, I'm not a fan of iced tea, sweetened or otherwise.

Don't think anyone mentioned Pineapple Sage. Yum! Since I only have a small plant right now I feel a little guilty picking its flowers as many pollinators like it.

Not a criticism but just amazement at all of the recipes y'all have for teas. When I lived in Austin I had 2 very large herb beds. Every few days I'd grab a huge basket and pick of few of these leaves and a few of those. Go back inside, boil some water, and pack a tea ball with as many herbs as possible. Lemon balm, lemon verbena ( tied with pineapple sage as favorite), a little Texas tarragon (aka Mexican Mint Marigold), some thyme, some mint, some other herbs that I can't remember right now. What might seem surprising, at least it surprised me, a small bit of bay leaf.

Oh how I miss that garden. Sigh. Now I have to resort to adding a few leaves to store bought tea.
