And… can I use them to make a herbal tea? They smell nice.

    Betula leaves? As in, birch trees?! Their leaves can be used for tea?!

    Thanks a lot for sharing all of this info! Wildplukken looks awesome, I’ve just placed an order :D

      Yes, birch trees! I haven’t tried it myself. And no problem! I have a big collection of books and love to share :D

        Cool! I’ll read about it.

        Tilia tea I’ve tried, but I think I used Tilia americana. I remember that that tee might possibly help to sleep.

        The Alliaria petiolata I do see a lot around where I live! There is also a park nearby that has carpets of Allium ursinum, which also taste like garlic. I really like them.

        Achillea millefolium is suuuuper common now and easy to find. Such a great list! Thanks again :D

          I cannot confirm nor deny that I have relocated some Allium ursinum from my local forest to my garden 😅 I have some herb butter I made with it in the fridge now! I make a lot in the spring, and put it in the freezer in small batches for later.
