Love Herbs

I'm working on some herbal combinations, one is a herbal tea and another is some herbs to add to pasta sauce. I'm also working on a mix of herbs to add to a relaxing hot rice pack. All the herbs I'm using come from my garden and, according to tradition, are good for love and weddings!

Marjoram is thought to be the herb for 'marital bliss' and should be added to food to strengthen love! It has a very subtle flavour, so it will be the main ingredient of my Love Sprinkles. I've read marjoram is best dried, then elsewhere I read it's best fresh, so who knows? I've dried a bunch already by hanging them up in a paper bag. I've started to remove some of the leaves to test how it holds its flavour. To that I'll add a little rosemary, which is a strong flavour, and some flecks of chilli flakes for a bit of spicy passion! These herbs would be good added to pasta sauce or maybe vegetables. I hope to try it out very soon.

For a herbal Love Tea, I use peppermint, lemon balm and pineapple sage. This makes a subtly flavoured relaxing tea. As I used fresh herbs for this, it needed to be steeped quite long, about 10 minutes. Lemon balm is well known as a good herbal tea.

Here are three ideas I'm working on for herbal combinations which are good for love and weddings.

good for herbal tea (Love Tea)
pineapple sage - weddings, wisdom
lemon balm - love
peppermint - love & sleep

good for food (Love Sprinkles)
rosemary - weddings, memory
marjoram - weddings
chilli - passion

good for rest (Hot Love Rice Pack)
lavendar - love & sleep
lemon myrtle - love & sleep
oregano - weddings & sleep
