In this video I share everything about Shiso aka Perilla frutescens. This is a beautiful and delicious tea to cold brew. It literally goes from blue, to pink, to purple, and finishes on orange. The tea has an excellent flavor and is loaded with healing properties. I also share where I get the highest quality shiso and other medicinal herbs. Enjoy!

This was growing wild in my front yard in Kentucky and I just figured out that’s what it is so I’ve been doing research on it. It is so exciting to me to see something so beneficial is growing wild right outside and it tastes amazing.

[@calumx]

Nice!!

[@djoy1972]

Hope you've been enjoying it since.. you can freeze it, dry it so you always have on hand. It can be brewed for hot tea and well as juice, eaten fresh as a wrap , in salads etc online you can find many Asian recipes using it.

[@lydiahubbell6278]

what does it taste like?

[@creativefun4710]

Like licorice root, anise milder​@@lydiahubbell6278

Your video came to me at the perfect time! I’m harvesting all types of herbs and cold brewing technique will be perfect. I just subscribed to your channel!

[@nameaboveallnames1267]

This stuff grows wild on my land and there is a almost completely purple variant growing as well

[@thames308]

I grow red and green Shiso in my backyard. It is marvelous and I love the spring and summer. It makes me feel grat.

[@PhoenixAurelius-138]

I grow green shiso in my yard and am making tea with it fresh, right now! :-D Both green and purple perilla/shiso grow wild in many parts of the US. If you forage and bring some mature seeds back to your property, it's extremely easy to propagate.

[@calumx]

Nice! I am growing green shiso at my spot too.

My wife and I bought our first home out in the country in the Piedmont area of NC. I was weedeating around the mailbox, and noticed a minty smell coming from the weeds I was weedeating. I looked down, and noticed that it looked like mint. I scanned it with my plant app, and sure enough, perilla! I looked around, and noticed that it was growing everywhere in the woods around the house, and in ludicrous amounts in our neighbor’s pasture. I’ve been putting it in my daily smoothie, and throw it in salads. Super excited to have found it, especially after discovering the health benefits! I didn’t know it was made into tea, but I’m definitely going to start drying leaves for a tea mix! Thanks for the awesome video! Side note: does anyone know if the stalks are consumable in addition to the leaves? I don’t want to waste valuable plant parts that could potentially be used.

[@ruthperez4789]

I tried cold brewing with fresh leafs and I didn't think it taste like anything. I tried the red perilla. How do you brew yours from fresh leafs?

[@mariavasquez9504]

Try making shiso syrup...or shiso vinegar....shiso bread or cookies ...shiso oil for skin or hair as well

[@anitastafford6617]

I've got a garden full and I make my own tea. It's not hard to find at all. There are plenty of sources for shiso seeds to grow your own leaves and make your own tea.

[@calumx]

Nice! I have some growing at my spot as well from seed

[@BaughbeSauce]

"What if we took it every day when we aren't sick?" Though I do somewhat agree and do that myself, be a little careful as there are some herbs you cannot and should not take daily or over a certain amount of time (ie: more than 2 weeks or 4 weeks). Though I'm sure YOU know this, you have to be extra careful because I guarantee a LOT of your viewers don't.

[@tomk.9803]

Welcome back, long time no see ;-) Happy to see that you still make your own videos, was wondering what happened to you when I saw you on JP's episodes... Thank you!

[@calumx]

I'm still here! Haha. Yeah I have been slow with KZbin but there are lots more videos to come. I actually work full time for JP. So I am quite busy with a lot of things but I always want to make KZbin videos

[@svanhildnyberg7171]

I am growing red shiso in my window during wintertime in Norway. I have only eaten it in salads. I will make tea tomorrow.

[@calumx]

[@JuJu-he8ck]

[@DaniPooo]

Shiso seeds are pretty easy to come by and a VERY easy plant to grow. I have a few plants and it's worth it

Do you know how to use shiso as a preservative in liquid recipes, say, preserving flower essences?

[@calumx]

I don't!

In china you go to a doctor ,to avoid getting sick ,not like in the west where you go to the doctor when you dont feel well

[@trinityestrada9588]

China communist government is a nightmare joke. And most Chinese people I have encountered have been the most arrogant people I've met.

[@trinityestrada9588]

Too much blah blah blah 🙄
