I am tired of summer at this point, and I am trying to anticipate winter thru the current heat.

 I was doing a light inventory, so to speak, of my current herbs, and  I decided to go ahead and prepare some teas for this winter.

We aren't typically sick, but we do experience our share of sore throats and the like.  The Princess also enjoys making her own blends. So this is what we made....

Sore Throat Tea (from a Rosemary Gladstar recipe)

2 parts licorice root

1 part cinnamon chips

1 part echinacea

1 part marshmallow root

1/4 part dried ginger chips

The Princess's Chamomile Tea

1 part chamomile

1 part lemon balm

1 part lemon grass

1 part catnip

................................................................

I do keep a pretty decent stock of dried herbs that I rotate thru... I try and prefer to keep them in glass jars, but it is not always possible.  Many stay in the containers in which they come for a while.
