  • To also contribute a plant myself: My current favorite is Jiaogulan. Even though it isn't really a spice, it is used to make tea (very mild) and they say it has the power to keep you young (not sure how much and if there is anything really to it).

    • What an interesting plant. How did you find it? What does it taste like? Look at you with all your herbal tea, you’re Uncle Iroh!

      • Haha I wish I'd be Uncle Iroh!

        I found it by browsing the stock of a very good German herbal/medical plant merchant. I got very intrigued by the description and just bought one plant and got to get a second plant from it by propagating via cuttings :D

        It adds a light citruy fresh taste to the tea. I personally always mix it with some other tea, because by itself is very mild. I most often drink it with a basic green tea, some ginger and honey.

    • nice! I didn’t know this plant. I’ll try to find some.
