I half heartedly checked a vendor in the OP and they didn't have anything that wasn't literally tea. Is there a go to spot for herbal "tea"? I'm mostly just addicted to valerian root/spearmint/chamomile/passion flower teas before bed and I don't much care how they taste. I mostly just want to drink warm stuff before bed without caffeine that may or may not make you sleepy/relaxed as inexpensively as possible. Real big fan of muna mint tea as well.

I bought a dehydrator and murdered a lot of nettles earlier this year. It's very comforting to just chuck some in a cup and drink.

I've seen cast iron kettles, but only to put on top of woodstoves to add some humidity back to the room.

Hmm, you're getting sent round the houses, but we do also have a cast iron thread, but the only mention I can see of one before, the goon decided not to buy it.

This seems to say you should be doing evaporation cycles in it to build up a mineral crust, are you using filtered water?

What is Yorkshire tea made of, anyone know? An English friend is saying it's the "true brew" but it's not sold here and I don't want to import it. Can I blend it if I know what tea types they use?

If there's an ex-pat section anywhere, it should be sold there. It's the best and most popular cheap tea. It's just black tea, though, I don't feel like it would be possible to emulate it?

You could try goats milk. It's much easier on the gut.

It tastes a bit weird the first time, but after that it just tastes like milk, and it's cows milk which tastes weird.

I'm interested but where would I look for such a thing? I'm going to google, I've never actually seen it for sale.

In the UK it's just in the dairy section next to the regular milk, at least at bigger supermarkets.

I mean, it's fine? You stir the bag then put it in the next cup for the other person you're making for,repeat until you have tea for everyone!
