Use your herbs

I picked a bunch of broad leaved sage today and made some sage tea. Pour boiling water on it in the tea pot and posh it about a bit to help burst the cells. After about 5 minutes drink it with a teaspoon of honey if you like it sweet. It is very good for sore throats , digestion and lots of other things. You can just use it as a gargle too.
Rosemary is also very good for stimulating the brain if you're feeling sluggish in the morning brewed in the same way.
I thought I'd bring this up as I've been rather lazy about using all the lovely herbs I've got planted round the garden apart from picking a bunch of parsley or thyme occasionally.
I've written a reminder to re-site and re plant a new herb bed so they are nearer together and easier to find.
I've let quite a few seed on the rockery as the butterflies and bees like them - marjoram in particular plus hyssop and lavender.
