Do you ever make herbal teas? If so, with what herbs and how do you make it?

[Thor]

No caffeine, no reason.

[youngcook]

Huh? No caffeine for what, herbal teas? Those don't need caffeine.

[Thor]

The caffeine is for me. Herbal teas lack the life encouraging substance. Therefore, I have discovered very little use for herbal teas.

[youngcook]

So you love coffee? Not to be mean but isn't coffee damaging to your health?

[Thor]

Coffee does not damage your health. In fact, many believe coffee has health benefits that make it more like herbal tea than many folks think.

What isn't good for you is caffeine in large quantities. Caffeine is harmless for most people if used in moderation, say 2 to 3 cups of coffee worth per day.

I do love coffee.

[Pickles]

wouldn't touch herbal teas, horrible stuff that it is.

Coffee is good for you, except for that freeze dried that.. then thats just murder.... to your senses

[shanebond]

So there are people who are yet to come out of the belief that coffee is damaging for health, the simple truth is any beverage if taken in excess is bound to cause problems not coffee alone. As far as the herbal teas are concerned, I tried it and it does not have such a horrible taste as some people advocate. After all when it is the question of health then it pays to do some compromise.

I like adding a fresh sprig of rosemary to my normal green tea. Its very refreshing.

[SomeBoy]

Yeah, they are very delicious and refreshing. I never drink coffee, it is unhealthy.

[alentrott]

I had made herbal tea many times because I love to drink herbal tea. I used ginger herbs or making herbal tea because its taste is very tasty and feels better.
