From where do you suggest purchasing your tea ingredients? Or, are you growing and harvesting some of your own now? Thank you.

Thank you. I could not see the links at the time I posted the question.

I’m curious about your French press choice too!

Are you and Dorothy still doing your mint garden?

Quick edit Jack, “or reduce the 3-6 ratio down to 1-3” wouldn’t that be 1-2?

I LOVED the video Jack! I grow ALL of those things but have never made tea. Thanks for giving me some direction!

I am kind of blown away that you can make your own tea. That is cool!

Don’t know what to do first, tea? root beer? I found a lady to buy local eggs from and will go pick up this morning, and I’m working on sourcing local pastured meat and getting started with a freezer. Got our first cast iron pan, a vintage 3-notch #8 Lodge, in the mail yesterday!

I have been using your tea recipe since the first time you mentioned it on the show. I LOVE it! I will use different mints in the blend to slightly change the flavor but using spearmint is my favorite! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

If I were to buy 1 lb bags of everything in your mix, do you have a sense of how many cups of tea that makes?

Sorry if this is an impossible question because I know you said sometimes you reuse earlier batches throughout a day.

My wife and I buy a lot of various organic tea bags from Amazon each month and I’m just wondering so I can do a comparison. 96 tea bags cost us about $20.

Hi Jack,
In one of your recent episodes, you mentioned a sleepytime tea that you make that helps you sleep and gives you nice dreams. Have you posted the recipe somewhere? I can’t remember which episode that was or where to find the recipe. Thanks!

Hi Jack,

Was just curious if you brew in larger portions?  I like to brew to make a gallon at a time, and was wondering how much mix you think it might take. I usually just wrap my mint tea leaves in cheese cloth to steep.

Thank you for your time

I second the ForLife tea infuser. It has been a great kitchen tool and we use it for a lot more than tea. If it fits in there, we will use it (Elderberry syrup, hot pepper/garlic spray ingredients we use to deter rabbits in the garden etc.)
