herbal tea in my backyard?

I recently purchased a flat of plants from a Garden Center that were packaged together as a ‘tea blend’. It contained chamomile, lemon balm, and orange mint. I put them into a nice planter (i container garden) and they are all doing very well. (i also have some other mints and catnip that i could add to the tea mix)

I do drink a lot of tea, but i’ve never brewed herbal tea from actual herbs. My tea experience began with lipton tea bags and has only grown to loose earl grey in a stainless tea brewer.

So what do i do next? Do i dry it? Can i brew it straight out of The Garden?

And i read somewhere (i think) that the chamomile needs to bloom and i use the flowers?

Yes you can use them dry or fresh out of the garden.
But if you use them fresh they will have a much stronger flavor and aroma.
Eaither way when your ready to use them just get yourself some cheese cloth from you grocer, these would be located in the canning section of the store.
Lay one cheese cloth out flat then, place what herb teas you want at that time, wrap them up tight and tie it off at the top.
And now you have an instent tea bag.
As for the Camlile tea, yes you do use the flowers for the tea, there some other wild indian plants and flowers out there that you can also use, that are accualy pretty good and are good for your health.
So heres to drinking to your heath!!!!!!!!
