...Catnip tea?
Well…
My friend, she grows catnip for some reason. Her cat doesn’t dig it too much. She offered me some, though I don’t got a cat. I accepted it of course – always got room for another free something.
Now the question – could I infuse this stuff (after properly drying if need be), or is it going to sit in the back of my car until I accidentally leave a window open one night and wake up to a new occupation as a stray feline chauffeur?
I love catnip! It has a subtle, sweet minty flavor. It is good blended with chamomile, or other mints.
BTW, it doesn’t have the same effect on humans as it does on cats. :)
Nope, just put it in the infuser. For dried catnip, I use about 1 tsp per 8 oz water. If you have fresh, you’ll need more – a good handful, probably. You don’t really need to worry about oversteeping, but 5 minutes is a good steeping time.
Catnip is supposed to have some health benefits – reducing fevers, or aiding digestion, or something. But I only drink it for the flavor.
Really… Well, good to know! Thanks.
I think I’ll keep some around for befriending stray cats.
