Being able to step out into the back garden and harvest some herbs is a real gift.

My kids have had a stonking cold, I was the last to go down
. Listening to my youngest i can hear he is still super phlegmy – Ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea, in the mint family) immediately sprung to mind so I nipped into the garden to harvest a load before it goes over. His tea is brewing as I type this (other ingredients in pic 2).

I already have fresh Ground ivy tincture brewing. This lot will be dried for home use as teas. Best I dilute his brew with cold water and get it up to him before school ![🙌](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t56/1.5/16/1f64c.png)
