RE: Where is the tea, there is hope.
Well done post! Right know they are flowering here in Norway and the meadows are purple/violet from their flowers.
HAve one question about the plant, are we using to dry whole plant with flowers or just a leaves?
Hi @photovisions ! Thank you for noticing and paying attention to my post :)
The Raw material for tea is stems and leaves. Inflorescences are added only for flavor. But the best tea is obtained if you collect this grass until flowering. If the seeds and fluff have already started to form, then this plant is no longer suitable for the drink.
These meadows are really fantastically beautiful. They can not be overlooked :). I also know that in mountainous areas, people can collect honey from Ivan tea , but it is too quickly candied :)
Ok, great thanks for extra info! So it is little too late already to pick the best stuff but still some young leaves can be used.. I will have to try it!
