I’m sharing the herbs I actually use most often (like chamomile, lemon balm, nettle, hibiscus, and marshmallow root), how I brew herbal infusions and decoctions at home, and simple tips for blending loose leaf tea. We’ll also talk about rosemary tea benefits, how to make herbal tea stronger for medicinal support, and when tea might not be the best herbal preparation (like when you need something fast or more concentrated). If you’re learning how to brew herbal tea for stress, digestion, hydration, or seasonal immune support, this episode will help you feel more confident using herbs at home — without overwhelm. Plus, I’ll share how I make tea a simple daily ritual in real life as a busy mom and home herbalist. 🌿☕ Spring Garden Summit: https://thehomesteadchallenge--audreyslittlefarm.thrivecart.com/gsk26-fast-action/679740ca1cb5c/ https://thehomesteadchallenge.com/how-to-brew-herbal-tea-infusions-and-decoctions/ ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-homestead-challenge-podcast-suburban-homesteading-gardening-food-from-scratch-sustainable-living-6738945/episodes/ep-183-tea-talk-herbs-i-love-and-brewing-wisdom/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-homestead-challenge-podcast-suburban-homesteading-gardening-food-from-scratch-sustainable-living-6738945/ep-183-tea-talk-herbs-i-love-and-brewing-wisdom.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
