Apothecary Gardening: Harvesting & Brewing Herbal Tea & Learning Gongfu Cha from a Master Brewer

Hello everyone, Join me in the garden as we harvest fresh herbs and turn them into two delicious, nourishing herbal teas. In this video, I’ll show you how I make lemon balm & ginger tea and chocolate peppermint & ashwagandha tea. We also stop by our local farmers market to chat with a tea shop owner about brewing tea the Gongfu Cha way—the traditional “kung fu” style of slow, mindful tea making. If you’ve ever wanted to elevate your tea ritual, learn how to brew tea properly, or explore the world of garden-grown ingredients, you’ll love this one. If you enjoy apothecary-style tea making, herbal medicine, cottage garden living, and from-garden-to-cup recipes, let me know! I’d be happy to make more videos like this. And if you’d like to support the channel, feel free to like and subscribe for more cozy, cottage-core gardening content.
