Have you tried this tea?

I think it's called a tisane -herbal tea. This is something my mom likes, currant leaves, mint blossoms, a bit of green tea, all steeped in hot water makes an enjoyable beverage. Mint is the most fragrant when in bloom.
Back in the early 90s when the Soviet world collapsed around us and sometimes the only food we had was the one we grew/raised ourselves, this was what we had for tea. And cherry tea as well -cherry twigs steeped in boiling hot water. Very pleasant cherry flavor.
