May - June is time to collect Greek Mountain Tea. The Sideritis plant (Ironwort) also known as 'Shepherds Tea'.
It is said to boost the immune system; drinking 2-3 cups of mountain tea a day is thought to help prevent or fight flu symptoms and stress related ailments such as chest infections, a foggy head, digestive complaints, fatigue and anxiety. Naturally caffeine free.
Use the flower, stem and leaves. Once the herb is dry store in an airtight container. Drink hot or cold.
