What I discovered from my once a decade cold is I want something that
taste good with the tea and not something that was medicinal. Ive
been collecting tisanes over the years from my local British tea
shoppe. I must have every dried fruit and flower combinations in
existence. Even everyday dried orange peel and blossoms tasted
great. I wanted to see see something floating around in the cup that
I could eat. Citrus flowers proved to be the best for breaking
through the bad taste of a cold in the morning and dried fruits in the
evening. Tea tells you when you are getting sick and when you are
getting well. While you are sick it tells the severity.
