I love experimenting probably more than I love making things. Chaos is usually more interesting than order most days. Experimenting with tastes has got to be so rewarding. The following tea that I made today was really sweet, not bitter, not gross, but enjoyable.

Boil, and enjoy as a tea to greet old friends over.
