Thyme tea

K is infected with a cold. Before he changes his mind to go to see a doctor, some herbal tea might help to reduce symptoms, I have decided.

Thyme has a medicinal effect on coughs and sore throat as I heard. Therefore, I picked some thyme in the garden and brewed it with black tea. Thyme is characterized with a strong and unique aroma itself, but it does not really change the taste of the tea. Herbal therapies of this sort are becoming more and more interesting to me, probably because I am getting more and more secluded in my life and becoming a witch, or because there is a very practical need to consume the herbal produce in the garden.

It is a romantic idea to me anyway though to make use of what is available in the garden in order to maintain a regular pace of life. Perhaps while I am growing taller and older, I also learn better the benefit of reaching down to harvest the wisdom of the earth.
