Do any of you harvest any herbs from the wild, for use in herbal teas, blending with true teas, or for use in cooking?
Shiso (perilla) is widely naturalised where I live, and I use it both to brew up an herbal infusion, and to use as a cooked vegetable. I also regularly take lemon balm, and less frequently, mints, from naturalised populations.
Re: Wild harvest herbs
I mainly use mint and low grade green teas, boiled together. Nothing original :p
Otherwise, my chinese family uses a huge amount of picked herbs (or bought in chinese pharmacy) for specific infusions, never mixed with tea.
