I love tea. Even before I knew how to intentionally choose plants to heal or comfort or nourish, I loved sipping a warm cup on a cold day.

In hindsight, I *should* have taken more pictures of the process. But trust me, this is such an easy DIY craft to fill the empty space where your Christmas wreath hung.
