Thyme for tea

I had planned to write a proper entry around these pictures, but for whatever reason I’m just not in a very writing-y state of mind right now. Between the pun in the title and the fact that I just used “writing-y” as a word, it’s really for the best that I step away from the keyboard.

We found wild thyme at Raven’s preschool and took it home and made some tea. The pictures tell the story. Enjoy!

Collecting thyme.

You use the flowers for tea and the leaves for cooking.

The fragrance is unbelievable. Best smell ever.

We didn’t have a bag.

Flowers rinsed and ready for some hot water.

Steam! We didn’t have any tea filters so we just threw the flowers right in.

Sugar added.

And stir.

Scoop the flowers out and drink!
