LOUISA: GREEK LEMON VERBENA HERBAL TEA
I found out about Louisa during the ZWT6 Nector of the Gods Challenge and thought I would post the recipe from the site I found the information, greekfood.about.com. Therapeutic uses: Louisa is believed to have a stimulative effect on the digestive tract; thus, the belief that it aids in slimming. It is also used to aid in digestion, and is believed to have a calming effect on the nerves. At the market: Louisa is sold under several names, the most common being lemon verbena. It can be found as a prepared tea (bags), as loose tea, and as dried leaves.

FRENCH CHERRY STALK/STEM HERBAL TEA - TISANE - INFUSION
A simple recipe/method, which my very elderly French neighbour gave to me when I lived in the Poitou region of France - she had about a dozen cherry trees. The French drink this herbal "Tisane" regularly, especially ladies who diet, as the cherry stalk is known to help elimination and reduce water retention! The cherry stalks/stems contain potassium, salts and tannin, and it is known as a powerful diuretic. It is also used for preventing urinary tract infections. It is drunk by steeping the cherry stems in boiling water, and can be drunk hot or cold - with or without sugar. It has a fruity-woody flavour, and is a very refreshing drink.

- Spread out on a drying rack - or on some newspaper in a dark, dry & airy room - cover if necessary, and allow to dry naturally for about 4 days to one week.
- Store the dried cherry stems/stalks in an airtight jar or container.
