I’ve managed to cut back to one cup a day. I’m now down to one cup of real coffee and decaf the rest of the day and I’ve been drinking these delicious herbal teas and I started reading the ingredients on these herbal teas
And as I go down the list. I’m like, oh my goodness. I could grow that I grow I do grow that and you know, so I I do make teas out out of herbs in the backyard, but Not as much as I could so you’re thinking about doing it to save myself money because I’m I love to drink drink coffee all day and now I drink decaf all day and it’s getting a little expensive so I’ve always loved making sun teas and things like that
I’m going to experiment with making more hot and cold teas from herbs I grow and You know more about herbs than I do I’d like to read off a few of the ingredients I see on the back of my tea bags And let me tell and you just pipe in about whether you think we can grow it Yaro, I’m not familiar with that. Yeah, you can grow that easy

I’m noticing we grow that you grow that rose hips and rose petals now I have roses, but I It’s not going to kill you from what I’ve read, but it is a certain type of road that that’s sweeter than others So you could do that
