I hope this is going to be an on going series 'growing your apothecary' really enjoying it.

[@melissawelsh3289]

I second this. I love listening to them discuss the properties of herbs.

[@betty8769]

Love watching you guys play with the herbs. Just starting my herbal journey!

[@brittneys4001]

You and your Mother crack me up and remind me of when I’m with my Mother! You have definitely inspired me to do the same with my Mom. My girls want a big enough property to have Granny Pods on it to have the grandparents live on the property so we can garden and live life!

[@TheHoneystead]

Do it!!!!!!

[@dianelawrence4948]

You two are just precious together. Thank you so much for doing what your doing. And thanks for rekindling the herbalist ember in my soul.

[@rebeccahenkins1697]

I love the elegance and reverence you make by putting your herbs on the silver tray in preparation for using them, making tea or anything you do. We owe plants so much! It gladdens my heart to see this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I hope one day I can have as lovely an apothecary as you have! Mashallah!

[@CastleHives]

Your Apothecary has just blossomed Kaylee. Watching the build and now seeing the teas, tinctures, and fun is great. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. And. . . And. . . So excited to see you break 100k. . That is fantastic. . 🎉🎉

[@TheHoneystead]

Thank you Brian!!! It’s crazy to see our dreams come into fruition ✨ you are doing great things as well!!! Keep it up!

[@candicecullengrowcooknourish]

I am really enjoying this series. Thank you so much! After years of experimenting on my own, I am almost a year into the 1,000 hour Herbal Immersion with Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine. You inspire me, I hope to build an apothecary like yours one day.

[@gardengatesopen]

Ohhhhhhh, the drama! My husband is sick this week too. He has a sore throat, and barely a fever. You really would think he was dying with the way he carries on! Plus- He's been milking it for what seems like FOREVER, but it's only been 3 days. In the spirit of laughing in the face of adversity, I also thought of a few names to call the tea which are completely inappropriate! (& would never actually name a tea these things!) Here's a few to laugh about: ▪︎ Ohhhh, The Drama! (I just had to start w that one!) ▪︎Drama King Fixer ▪︎Go Away Man-Baby Tea ▪︎Drink Some Tea, Grow Some Balls ▪︎You're NOT Dying, THIS Will Fix It ▪︎I'll See You On The Other Side ▪︎Stop The Moaning Tea And perhaps THE most important one of all: ▪︎The Marriage Saver Tea Good Luck w your man-baby ladies!! ❤️ (P.S. I REALLY need some of that tea in my house!!!) 🥴

I have been slowly making my apothecary all year. I have some purchased blends too. My cabinet has different flavors of honey too. I'm coffee an tea with chocolate an wine from time to time gal. I love your videos an it inspires me to continue down my path of research. I'm a mom of three an now a grandma of three. Things I do now feel so purposeful especially when i am able to pass it on. 💕

[@jmedavis]

You are my kind of people. Old souls. Thanks for sharing all you do.

[@dancnluc1]

Sounds delicious. I grow spearmint and peppermint along with mint, orange mint and chocolate mint. I guess you could say I love my mints. I have already gotten a bigger variety of herb seeds for next year. I cannot wait to start making my own blends.

[@cassandraletton]

I would add in skullcap, passionflower & a touch of Lavender too

[@patmoore4515]

Love watching you two together!

I love watching you and your mom wild crafting together, so special the relationship you have cultivated 💜 my morning tea blend while I watch you video is … St. John’s wart, nettles, ashwaganda , passionflower, rose hips, oat straw, marshmallow 😋I have been working with an herbalist to get this blend to help me with a recent diagnosis of hashimoto’s disease and it is lovely 😊 thank you for your videos

Lemon balm is my favorite herb and I definitely find it calms the mind. I allow it to grow wherever it decides to pop up in my yard. For myself, I find I cannot drink chamomile tea before bed as it actually keeps me awake. Is there a reason that an herb does the opposite of what it should in some people? BTW, I am so thankful I found your channel--you are living my dream!

[@TheHoneystead]

Yeah there are people who experience opposite effects!!!

[@jennbama]

I'm enjoying my newest journey into this. I've made a few tinctures, blends for my own health as just recently one for my grandson's adhd. Since he's on no meds anymore (but I've found that doesn't matter in most cases) i blended valeria root and lemon balm and found that there has been good success even by medical drs on this so I'm excited to see how he does.

Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹. how are you and your weather condition like today?

[@sallyradcliffe-hh6ud]

Oh i need some of that tea. Made one similar but without cat leaf.

[@lori6911]

A wonderful part two! It inspired me to think of a tea blend for myself soooo…. I already have Camomile and Lemon Balm in an online shopping cart but then Lemon Verbena caught my eye so I put that in the cart also lol. From the description it seems it would be a little more powerful medicinally and in flavor than the Lemon Balm. Would my assumption be correct? I like the idea of the sweetness in the camomile paired with a lemon flavor and am looking for a soft calming sleepy bed time tea. I don’t have much self crafting tea experience but time to step it up. I just love how this crazy crafting hobby is unfolding. Thanks bunches!

[@chelinfusco6403]

No bad words, mother...hahaha... That's a first. Usually is mom that says no bad words. Love you guys. This is awesome. I don't have freeze dryer, only a dehydrator. Would all herbs dry or preserve the same in either method? Or, do some do better dehydrated and others better freeze dried? I need to make this blend. You mentioned tulsi. I love tulsi, but it is a bit strong for my stomach (heartburn) to take at night. But I wish I could. Thanks for the video lesson.

[@TheHoneystead]

Lol!! I prefer to either air dry or freeze dry!

Love this series! Thanks so much. I’m thinking of getting some education on herbalism soon. Been interested in years. I’ve been playing around with making tea blends but nothing serious. I have LPR and get flare-ups now and then. Slippery Elm is said to help. I bought some from Frontier and it tastes pretty bad, lol. Any ideas on how to make it taste better?

Is the rose, the hip, the petals, the leaf, or all 3? Do you grow it yourself? What variety? We have multiflora rose (an "invasive") all over our property and often harvest the hips. I'd love to plant a variety with larger hips. That actually sounds like a pretty good recipe for my daughter this week (she is having a surgery tomorrow). We often have a "magic sleepy tea" for her in the evenings (she's 3); either a bought chammomile or "lemon" herbal (lemon peal, lemon balm, lemon grass blend) from harney and sons or our own home grown lavendar tea. I'd like to grow enough of these next year to not have to buy much... I absolutely love your apothacary space, btw!

Do you dry all of your herbs before making your tea

[@TheHoneystead]

If I’m make a fresh pot of tea from the garden, I will just make it right after harvesting. If you are storing the blend, you’ll want the herbs to be free from moisture so they wouldn’t mold.
