Also, some local health food stores and online herbal sellers let you purchase by the ounce or 4 ounces, (PennHerb.com is one), if you have budget concerns.

In case my last post confused anyone, I was going by oz and instead of asking for 2 cups of lemon balm, etc. I asked for 16oz so I ended up getting a pound each of nettle, lemon balm, and raspberry leaf as well as a large amount of the other ingredients. That is why the cost was 43$, which is an amazing deal still. I'll have tea on hand for a long time. Haha.

Thank you so much for this website. It ...Hello Jes! Thank you so much for this website. It has been such an encouragement and blessing to me! I was very excited when I saw this recipe. I've never been a fan of vitamin supplements and instead have always tried to "eat" my vitamins by having healthy non-processed meals but I appreciate the boost I would have mentally and physically by incorporating this tea. I followed your links to the herbs and found that making this tea would be out of range for my budget based off the amazon prices and your recipe so I decided to investigate some other sources and wanted to share with everyone who I found. I checked Mountain Rose and learned they were out of stock on several of the herbs so then I went on Etsy to see if I could find someone selling bulk herbs on there. I found a few people that looked promising and sent them all a private message with the recipe asking if they could make a custom order for me and how much would it cost. Only one person was able to provide the amounts in the recipe immediately. Her name on Etsy is Mountain Maus and she has a really cute mouse logo for her shop. She gave me the whole order for about 43$ which is really good based off my calculations. Shipping was kind of expensive at 12$ but it is a very large order. My husband was sweet and allowed me to purchase the herbs from her as a Mothers Day present. I just received the order today and everything was packaged really well. The herbs smell very fresh. Another bonus; she is a believer and included a gospel tract in my order. I don't come across that much in my experiences with Etsy sellers so I was excited about that. Anyways, sorry for the long comment but I hope this makes things more affordable for those who wish to try the recipe!Kimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-53831506506678209362015-05-08T15:49:13.043-05:002015-05-08T15:49:13.043-05:00Thank you Jes for sharing your wisdom on health wi...Thank you Jes for sharing your wisdom on health with us at Good Morning Mondays.
