Here's an interesting piece I ran across a while back on desert teas:

something at least like tea). The lady at the counter was unable to
tell me much about the plant, but I have gathered from online research
that it's made from a plant called greenthread which grows throughout
the southwest. Just wondering if anyone else had tried this kind of
herbal tea, and if you enjoyed it. I thought it was quite good
(considering it wasn't camellia sinensis), and its taste reminded me of
trees, and had a pleasant smell like the woods.
In other news, driving navajo route 49, which is more like a set of
jeep tracks than a road, with a 4-door nissan altima led to about 1100
bucks worth of damage to the bottom of the car, I recommend that you
don't try it.
