September has come and gone in a blink of an eye. The air has gotten cooler and crisp, making each inhale almost refreshing. Its fall guys, I hate to say it, but summer is fading slowly and fall is creeping in more and more. To me, it's tea season, I'm not a huge fan in the spring or summer months when it's hot. Tea, for me, is enjoyed in the cooler months.
Fall season also means: garden clean up.
I have a lot to clean up but before I get rid of plants. I always take a second look to see if I can't do something with it. Herbs are amazing to save because they dehydrate easily. This is seriously one of the easiest things you can do and it makes great tea.
Today we are dehydrating: Mint
