Hemlock tea?
 

Anyone else enjoy Hemlock tea?

I do. I picked some twigs today while snowshoeing and brewed up a pot.

What other trees / plants do you use to make tea with?

Peppermint... I've got several big jars of it I dried late last summer.
Gave a plastic bag of it to some friends, who expressed concern at that it
looked like. My answer: "Just have the narcs smell it!"

Mints - several different kinds, and I usually throw whatever type I
have into a brown bag to dry - every mix is just a little different.

I am currently growing some Lemon Balm. When they seem
large enough (maybe a year old?), I plan on pulling
leaves for some tea.

Not the same stuff as Socrates had for his last drink, I hope!

A different critter altogether; low-growing herb thing vs. a tree.

Somewhat OT, from a talk by Dr. Joyce Brothers, quoting a school kid's
paper.

Socrates was a famous Greek philosopher.
He went around telling people exactly what he thought, and always telling
the truth.
The poisoned him.

Some things never change...
