You fight dandelions all weekend, and late Monday
afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and
gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only
dandelions can in the face of adversity. ~Hal Borland

HERBS 'N SPICES: HERB BEVERAGES
Try this lovely syrup to flavor iced tea or lemonade.
Rosemary and Orange Syrup
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup rosemary
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/1/2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons orange zest
Bring the water to a boil and pour over the rosemary
and orange zest. Let steep for 2-3 hours. Strain and
combine with the orange juice and sugar. Boil until it's
thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Cool completely, skim
the top and pour into a sterilized bottle. This can be used
for waffles or as a sweetener for teas.
Anise Tea
Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp. dried anise leaves
1 tsp. honey
Pour the boiling water over the leaves and steep
for about 5 minutes-a little longer if you like it strong.
Strain and sweeten with the honey. This makes a
nice licorice type beverage.
Calming Herb Tea
1 tsp. dried peppermint leaves
1 tsp. dried lemon balm leaves
Add these to a tea pot and add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of boiling
water. Steep for about 5 minutes, strain and add sugar
or tea for a soothing herbal tea.
