It was lovely and sunny out today but you could really tell the temperature is starting to drop !

Half way around I decided to brew myself some tea but I needed to find something first.

Found some...

I then headed for my tea spot.Once there I prepped the root ready for my tea, it's called Licorice Fern and not only do the roots make a decent brew but they are also good for colds and sore throats !

With the tea on the go I sat back and gave the dogs some treats from my pocket...

This was the view from where I sat....

In summer I'd have added some Salmon berry leaves and berries and maybe some Salal etc but today it had to be a Rasberry and Pomegranite tea bag !
It was soon warm enough for me, had I used water from a stream I'd have got it to rolling boil for a few minutes but as this was water I'd taken with me this was fine....

After my tea I re-packed my kit ready to head back...

Holy smokes! :eek: :D What a beast!

By the way, that tea sounds and looks great! Does licorice fern smell like it's namesake at all?

Yes it has a very distinct smell, once you smell it once you will not forget it !
 
Thanks! I'll have to check some edible plant guides, see if it grows around here. :thumbup:
 
Great pics as always! I could use that fern root right now, I hate being sick!
