Although it’s still pretty warm around here, we’re getting into the fall spirit with warm drinks.

Caffeine addict I may be, but I also like to stay hydrated while enjoying a delicious beverage, so I’ve been making some wonderful herbal tisanes. I love my glass teapot and cups, a gift from a friend. It’s perfect for infusing fresh herbs from the little pots on our porch.

I also have many shelves that look like this, with bottles and jars of dried herbs. In our last place, Kenn called it my witch’s cabinet. I do feel witchy lately.

This one was fresh persian mint and dried rosebuds.

Now I’m drinking lemon verbena, peppermint, persian mint, and sweet basil.
