@xvz: Mugwort tea is a unique taste, it's almost bitter? Medicinal for sure. It helps a lot with sleep in my experience - I brew mugwort with chamomile + lavender to make it more sleep-inducing !!

Rosemary shortbread sounds amazing!! Gives me a reason to actually go look in the garden.

@xvz: Mugwort's hard to find honestly, I have to order it online bc no stores near me have it u_u

Rosemary shortbread with either lavender lemonade or cucumber mint lemonade...

@xvz: I was growing lavender, and then the heat got to it TwT I did buy bulk herbs (lavender, marigold, chamomile, rose petals, cornflower, jasmine) so I'm slowly but surely using those up.

Lemonade from scratch isn't hard at all! All you need is lemons/lemon juice, a simple syrup (aka dissolve sugar in hot water), and water! To make lavender lemonade, I put lavender in the simple syrup while it's heating. The same goes for cucumber-mint, I chop up cucumber and mint 1inch sized cubes and heat it with the sugar + water. Afterwards, I strain the liquid and mix it with lemon juice, then fill the rest of it with water. There's quite a few recipes on the internet for both, but I usually eyeball it :3

@xvz: The cornflower I have is all petals!! It's mild and almost sweet, but also still pretty herb-y lol also cornflower blue was my favorite crayon color as a kid

Also I use lemon juice that comes in a plastic thing most of the time - real lemons are a lot stronger and I use those for my infused water! I say they taste about the same at the end :0

@xvz: If you want a savory flower, stuffed squash blossoms are pretty good!!

@xvz: I cook a lot!! Mostly for myself, since the family who live with me don't like my style of cuisine (aka, not American food). My family DOES like most of my baked goods, and they usually don't last very long. My record of a particular item's lifespan was 3 days for a huge batch of brownies!
