Mum's magic teas

When friends come by to spin with Mum or just to see how she's doing, she often pops off into the back garden and comes back with a handful of different leaves and sprigs: rosemary, bay leaf, mint and sage. She'll chop everything up into small pieces, put it into a teapot and pour on boiling water. The she'll leave it to draw for several minutes and then serve au natural. Sometimes she'll grate some fresh ginger into her magic brew.

Another tea she serves is a mixture of lemon balm and freshly grated ginger.
